Father’s Day 2012 (I thought I posted this 3 days ago – oops)

Cali had some cute answers about dad

We all gathered around Ben’s bed on Sunday morning and wished him a happy father’s Day. We got him a few small gifts and cute cards. After church we just relaxed, the kids and I had just got home from CA and Ben from scout camp so it was nice to just be home. For dinner we were able to go to Ben’s dads house and be with him and Grandpa Becker and lots of family. Rose ate the sandbox while the rest of us ate dinner – grandpa might need to buy some refill sand after that feast.

we all chipped in for some large wind chimes!

Ben is a GREAT dad.

Grandpa Becker played his Garbage Can for us! He told me that he bought the Garbage can Instrument for 75$. He met a guy that had a little band and the guy told him he could come over so he brought his garbage can instrument and he played in the band for years. They played at Lagoon and at Rest Homes. Lots of Polka songs. So Sunday night for fathers day we had a little polka dance before everyone had to leave! it was awesome.

I have wonderful Fathers in my life. I love all of them. I was actually able to spend time with all of them within a one week span. I spent time with my dad and left a gift before I came home from CA, we had this celebration on Sunday for Ben, Rick and Ray and then I was able to visit my maternal grandfather later in the week. The other 2 grandpa’s have already passed on. Great men make a big difference – especially for my little family. We love you all.
