Father’s Day 2008
June 17, 2008
I think this year’s Father’s Day was the best so far. No, we didn’t go to the Botanical gardens. Instead, I was treated to a great breakfast in bed. Eggs the way I like them (over easy), bacon, and hash browns. And don’t forget the Diet Mt. Dew!
We spent the afternoon at Cabela’s in Hoffman Estates. That place is so cool! Not only is it a great store for outdoorsmen (I wish I was one!), but all of the animals on display, both living (fish) and dead (you name it) was really fun for the kids. While we were there, we just happened to run into my brother and his family. I was quite surprised when my nine year old nephew came up and hugged me. Had a nice visit with them while the kids climbed all over the new boats. I think they were collectively (7 of them) getting on the salesmen’s nerves.
The evening was capped off with a candlelight steak dinner on the deck. The mosquitos shortened the dinner, but it was a blast while it lasted.
