It has been a long while since Ive gotten to spend Fathers day with my Dad. Our house was just brimming with Dad's today. We had a special meal planned for after church. I made red beans and rice and Lar was in charge of the crawfish. He ordered 10 lbs yesterday and needed to reboil them and season them for lunch today. Nick woke up at 530am this morning because he was so excited about having the crawfish. Cliff and Carol, Lar's mom and dad, my mom and dad and our family all sat down to a wonderful mean. Nick showed everyone had to peel and eat the crawfish. After we all ate way to much - well at least me anyway - the kids and I gave each of the fathers a new Hawaiian shirt to wear. We wanted them to have a relaxing day. Then we started a friendly competition between the dads. We started out with a trivia game. Makayla read the questions and which ever dad squeezed the little ball he was holding that made his spider jump first got to answer. Going into the final question Lar was ahead 5 to 3 - both Dads. But Cliff answered the final question worth 3 points and drove home in a brand new Corvette. They all received trophies for being Great Dads and for having good Sportsmanship. From there we cleared the area and they played a round of Wii bowling. My Dad came in first with 200 points. Lar second and Cliff finished in 3rd place. Dad got to choose his grab bag first and won a 25.00 gift card to Home Depot.
Lar picked second and got a 10.00 gift card to Burger King and Cliff won the
20.00 gift card to Pizza Hut. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing them in action and I hope they felt celebrated and loved for being the wonderful Dads that they are.
