Father's Day 2016

  We just celebrated the funnest Father's Day.  We started off the morning with NO Bishopric meetings!  Now right there you know it's a good day.  Derek got his favorite strawberries/Nutella crepes for breakfast.
  After church we headed to Jen's house for a Father's Day dinner.  All of my siblings for dinner ... that equals a rockin' good time.  After dinner the kids ambushed the dads with 200 water balloons.  Payback was swift. Payback was certain.  In between water balloons, guns, squirters, buckets and the endless supply of the hose everyone was quickly drenched.  Poor Sam had to "take your medicine, son" by being pinned down by Toby and Paul while Derek unloaded a bucket full of water on the poor guy ... while Jen was yelling, "Don't water board my son!"
   While everyone dried off we played a fun Newlywed type game with my dad and his 4 kids to see which of us knows him the best .... turns out none of us really know him! The questions and answers were so funny - enjoy!

That was a fun Father's Day for all of us. I was glad to stay out of the water war, but loved the Fathers Day game. I just read all your answers from the quiz and had to laugh out loud all over again. Would dad really rather a speedo over a jumpsuit? I have to wonder!

What's he going to wear while paddling in his canoe collection if not a speedo or jumpsuit?
