Father's Day 2012

This morning the boys and I got up and walked to the Dunkin Dounuts to get breakfast and the 7 Eleven for coffee. We came home and set the table. Titus told Steve to stay upstairs for five minutes. When we were ready, Titus went up the steps and said..."Happy Father's Day Cha Cha Cha. You're five minutes are up." He had Steve close his eyes and come to the table.


Quincy's plate. Orange juice, a muffin and a motorcycle-


After breakfast we went to the beach. I love these pictures of Steve and the boys-



Shoot-

Score-











Titus saying, "Put it right here"-






I love the father-son interaction here. I can tell Quincy was pouting-








I wish I had gotten the shot right before this one. Quincy had his hands fully out stretched upward to Steve. On Friday night I went to a worship night at church. The worship band played and a packed church sang for two hours. The worship pastor shared inbetween sets of songs. At one point he told us that for the next song he wanted us to all raise our hands as we sang the chorus. He said doing so is like when a child raises his hands towards a father. He told a story of his children doing that when he would come home from work. I could picture in my mind the boys running to Steve with arms raised for him to pick them up. I loved seeing it happen today on the beach. And I loved that picture of us and God.


Titus' little hand wrapped around Steve's neck-


After the beach we came home for naps. Went to the pool in the afternoon and then the boys drove cars on Steve's back. This was a fun little shirt I made for them all :) -

Quiet Waters Splash Adventure

For our last day of Steve's off week before starting his summer job, we went to a water park. Quiet Waters is a great park about 10 minutes away from us. We went to the park in the winter and the water park section was not open. Titus talked about going to that water park all winter long.

It was well worth the wait. Both boys had an amazing time and could've stayed all day. We paid $5.00 each and stayed for 3 hours. The area around the slides and fountains was only about 18 inches deep. Steve and I sat in the water while Quincy would jump and fall into it over and over while Titus would go down the slides.

The days afterward Quincy kept talking about "splash adventure."
