Lynn and Michelle were down for the weekend (we love that Michelle's parents live here!) so we spent Saturday hiking Kanarraville Falls with them, Grandma Kathy, and Michelle's parents. On Sunday I made a peach pie and dutch oven apple crisp for the dad's and we had a Louisiana boil with B's whole family. I didn't get many pictures of that because my hands were too busy cracking crab legs. So good.
While we are talking about dads, I just thought I'd mention I have an incredible dad. I called him and told him about some of my favorite memories growing up. He used to take me out on drives. Just me and him. Sometimes we'd talk, sometimes we wouldn't. We'd go drive a street my dad saw and wanted to know where it went. We'd go through unfamiliar neighborhoods to look at houses. A few times we headed out into the country just to see what was in that part of the state. I still go for drives. If I need a break, need to think, or just want a relaxing adventure I'll go for a drive and explore a road I haven't been down. Brandon and I will drive through neighborhoods and look at houses all the time. I think we've covered all of St. George now. My Dad is a very selfless, considerate, generous, and loving guy. He's also funny, but would never think that of himself. He's supportive and caring and I've always known his love for me. I can't think of anything better than to have that reassurance. Thanks Dad!
And then there is the father of my son. I've always known Brandon would be a great dad and he's proved me right. He adores Griffin. He can make Griff laugh more than anyone. He helps with all the care taking and he knows when I need a break and takes over. I can't wait to see him with Griff as an older kid and a teen. Griff and I are lucky. I love knowing my kid(s) have a great example in their dad and will grow up knowing their dad loves them and their mom.
