Father's Day (Aedyn's first swim in the pool)

This last Sunday was a beautiful day, a little hot, but wonderful! We started the morning with gifts and cards,just the 3 of us. Aedyn gave Daddy a special card and 3 books to read together, Daddy Hugs, Kisses for Daddy, and I Love Daddy Because..., and I gave Shane a battery charger for his motorcycle, so someday when he feels like it he can rev up the engine and take a ride. It's a weird gift but he asked for it specifically. Then, I made one of Shane's favorite breakfasts,Hobo Hash. Funny thing is I forgot the eggs,usually they are scrambled,but I wanted to fry them for Shane,so instead I forgot them altogether, and he loved it!

After breakfast we got ready and went to the LA Zoo. It only took us about 30 minutes to get there, hooray! Anyhow, we met Jon and Kat there, and they treated us to a day of wild animals, how nice! We got to see so many different types of animals,but I think our favorite was the Gorilla exhibit. Shane described them as Majestic. I think Aedyn's favorite was the howler monkeys, they were amazing and noisy! It did get a might bit warm, and we all tried to stay hydrated,but it wasn't enough water so we went to the Kat and Jon's and went swimming in their pool.

This was Aedyn's first time in the pool and he LOVED IT! Aunt Kat bought Aedyn a special floating crab that he could sit in,and it entertained him for a while and then he just wanted out to swim. He laughed so hard that day in the pool, harder than he had ever laughed before. Of course he was laughing at Shane and Jon when they would go under the water and then pop back up. He splashed and laughed so much he wore himself out. Oh, and going under water for a second was a bit shocking but he did well. We are actually going to do Baby and Me swim classes this summer,so he can learn to hold his breath, float, and kick (which he actually is already doing).

After the pool party we went to a Berry Sweet, a frozen yogurt place and it was so yummy. Then,all the way home we sang songs to Aedyn; lullaby's, nursery rhymes, Christmas songs, and musicals.

It was a perfect day for the perfect father! I loved to watch Shane all day with Aedyn,beaming with pride,joy,and love,it made my heart melt, and fall deeper in love with both of my boys!

Happy Father's Day Honey!
