For my dad.. .Grant and I met him at Varsity and then at AJ's Cajun place in East Cobb. His present is in the works so I can't mention it here. This man is hard to shop for so nothing ordinary will do. I didn't see my dad on Father's Day but I thought about him all day. Wow! He has always been such a huge part of my life and still is to this day. I am over 37 (that's close enough) and still talk to my dad every day or every other day. I still go to him for advice. I still value his word and look forward to spending time with him. God blessed me with wonderful parents!
Gifts.. what do you get Skip? Well, Amazon will always have a couple of history books that look totally boring. He loves history books. Our house looks like a WW2/History book store. This year, I went out of the box- literally. I got him a Sling Box. This a cool device that you hook to your TV. It allows you to watch anything that is on your TV (you can even change channels and watch PVR) from your laptop. Skip can watch his TV from anywhere his air card reaches. How cool is that?
This year, we went to Church and then headed to Six Flags. Yep, Six Flags.. it was Skip's idea and the kids were happy to go along with his request.
Grant spent his day trying to play every game that would allow him to win a basketball or sports 'something'. He eventually won a basketball so he was happy.
Kendall wanted a Tweety Bird camp which she finally won on a game that you shoot water in the hole and the first 'thing' to the top wins. Well.. in today's day... you pay $5.00 and everyone wins a cape. So, we purchased a $.50 cape for $5.00. She was happy so it was worth it.
Waverly's excitement came from riding the Scream machine for the first time. Skip said was bouncier than he remembered. Waverly looked like she was in shock when she got off.
So.. after spending a car payment at Six Flags.. it was a great day for Skip and the kids. Skip loves nothing more than to spend time with his family. Time... that is his most valued for Father's Day.
