The primary sang in sacrament meeting for Father's Day and Mason had a short solo right at the start of the song
I Got to attend primary and be a mystery dad. It was so much fun.
On the way home from church Mason's home made stress ball (balloon filled with flour) broke so we had some mess to clean up
I got to help cook my Father's Day meal
These boys played in the sand box
What a delicious meal: rib eye steak, corn on the cob, and a Greek couscous salad
I was treated to an unexpected performance
The kids gave me some very thoughtful gifts
I even learned some things about myself
Kim and the kids made the cutest card for me
And I got some awesome gifts
I had the next day off work for Juneteenth so I took the boys and Nixon's friends on a bike ride and to the river
Lyza left for girls camp on Tuesday
Here she is with her best friend Jane who came with her
The boys got to play at Fort Sherman
Wednesday evening Kim drove up to camp to spend the evening with the girls and she got to make sure Lyza was surviving
Lyza was doing great and having lots of fun
Here she is in her tent
They had a beautiful camp spot on Twin Lakes
That evening I played some basketball in the backyard and made this shot that I call: Mediocre Shot
The next evening we met up with another family and did a bike ride together on a portion of the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes (the bike trail Kim recently rode with friends)
The kids all did better than we expected so we ended out riding almost 16 miles total
It was a beautiful evening
The kids played in the water when we got to Harrison
This was our group (minus Kim who took the picture)
Then it was time to ride another 8 miles back
Look at that deer
Our group (sans Henry)
Kim picked up some flowers along the way
Henry passed out on the drive home
Here are some clips from the evening
Kim and Nixon with their best smiles at the library
Mason showing off a build
Lyza came home on Friday. She had so much fun. She was only gone for 4 days (3 nights) but everyone at home commented at least once how it didn't feel the same without her and that we missed her
On Saturday Kim and Nixon did a mud run with some friends
Here they are before the race
Henry waiting before the race
It was a mad dash to begin the race
The first obstacle
Nixon's friend Jacob got to run the race with his younger brother and parents
Getting sprayed with some water right before the mud bogs
Then things started to get muddy
Nixon lost his shoes in the mud
Kim got to finish the race with two pairs of shoes
Finished
Then Kim and Nixon went back to help his friend's younger brother and mom finish the race so the second time they finished it they were a lot muddier
Hosing down Nixon
Snow cones after the race
A true warrior!
Have a great week!
