On Father's day, I woke early and got a big breakfast started for Mark. We watched church while we ate. While he made a quick stop at his dad's, the kids and I pulled his truck into the driveway with the double wide glider patio chair. I picked it up the day before and had it in the shop hiding. Surprise, we went all out and got the quality glider from Redekers. Each of the kids went in and contributed a little. It was a beautiful day and we had been invited to Rod and Laura's by Ali to celebrate Father's day. Laura likes to cook and made so many salads and sides while Rod grilled pork loin, pork patties, and an assortment of flavored brats. They had so much yummy food. We all sat in their new backyard pool and enjoyed the lovely day. Mark and Blake went on a bike ride. Bryce and Devin had their little baby Caden in the water. He is 9 months with blue eyes and chubby cheeks. It was fun to be around a baby. Jayden spent her day at a barrel race. 
On Tuesday we met Dad in Jewell to fish at Little Wall Lake. Mom and I sat in the lawn chairs and were entertained the whole day. Fishing lines ended up in trees and caught on lawn chairs and there were lots of laughs. Jake even caught three cans of beer! Jayden was about on the ground laughing when I tried to cast with her fishing pole that I did not know how to correctly release the line. Then Jayden got her line caught in a tree. Grandpa was standing on the edge of the shore reaching out trying to untangle her line and I was just sure he would fall in. Mom was laughing at me as I was holding on to Grandpa's belt to keep him from falling in. Luke caught the one and only fish of the day, a tiny little fish that jumped at his bait and Luke grabbed ahold of it. Jayden held it in her hands and it started to slither which caused her to jump and squeal. It was a good day with some good laughs! We had a good time and went in to Story City for a quick burger and then back to Jewell to the famous local ice cream shop.
