#1 Fans of Dad and their Classic Daddy!

We had a great Father's Day weekend. As a treat to Clint- the kids decided to wash his truck and prius ! :) I think they just wanted to get wet...ha! They had so much fun.

We celebrated later that night with PaPa and Mark and the rest of the gang at Catfish Parlour...gotta' love that rootbeer. We are very fortunate to have such great dad's in our lives!

Fathers are wonderful people,

too little understood,

And we do not sing their praises

as often as we should,

For Father struggles daily

to live up to his image

As protector and provider

and hero of the scrimmage,

And perhaps that is the reason

we sometimes get the notion

That fathers are not subject

to the thing we call emotion.

But if you look inside Dad's heart,

where no one else can see,

You'll find he's sentimental

and soft as he can be.

Fathers are just wonderful

in a million different ways,

And they merit loving compliments

and accolades of praise,

For the only reason Dad

aspires to fortune and success

Is to make the family proud of him

and bring them happiness,

And like our heavenly Father,

he's a guardian and a guide,

Someone we can count on

to be always on our side.
