This Father's Day

Today I have the opportunity to revel in the fact that my Dad was just here this morning to spend a Father's Day breakfast with us. I know I am a very lucky daughter to have a Dad that wants to be around and spend time with us. Growing up there was a lot of awe and wonder anytime my Dad would teach us new things. I have never figured out how he knows so much about so many things. I guess maybe that's just part of being a Dad. Here are a few of the things my Dad taught our family along the way.....

You taught us how to drive a tractor. Yehaww!!

 

You taught us great fashion sense!

 

You taught us that no one can snuggle like Grandpa!

You taught us to ski ... and ski we did ... I know we might have complained about it then, but now I realize how much WORK it took to get four kids geared up for those trips. Not to mention the 13 hour car ride. Those ski trip mean so much to me now!

 

You taught us how to walk!

You taught us how to boogie!

You taught us how to get out of sticky situations.

You taught us that Grandparents are very important!

You taught us how to build fences. And once in awhile, how to mend them.

 

You taught us that puppies laying in the flowers are no big deal. Let sleeping dogs lie because they kind of rule the roost.

 

You taught us to take time to enjoy the ocean.

You taught us the patience of fishing.

 

 

You taught us to play a mean game of horseshoes.

And most importantly, you taught our kids how to get a direct line to Santa.
