We had a great father's day weekend! It started off with Peter and I going out for a date on Friday afternoon. We walked around a neighborhood in Lake Oswego, and then we had coffee at St. Honore which is near the lake. We sat outside and drank lattes, and we felt like we were on vacation in another city because it was so beautiful! The girls babysat on Saturday and Conner had a sleepover, so Peter and I went on another date, which, of course, included walking and eating. While walking around, we saw a restaurant that we had been wanting to try for a couple of years. They are well known for their biscuits, so we went in and had one. It is a great little restaurant, and we sat at the counter and watched them make lots of biscuit sandwiches. We also went to Cork (a wine/chocolate/beer shop) and bought a piece of chocolate and a couple of beers for our Father's Day dinner. This morning our family worked in the Village Cafe, serving coffee drinks to people at church. After listening to McKenzie and Kelsey complain about having to get up very early (6:30 on a weekend), we all had a great time. The first 2 1/2 hours of our shift were very easy, and then it was SOOOO busy for the last 1/2 hour. After lunch we gave Peter his father's day present - a hammock for the backyard. He really likes it, but I think the kids like it even more. They spent almost the entire rest of the day outside. Peter and I stopped by to wish my dad a happy father's day - he said that he wanted to go out for lunch this week for a father's day celebration, so we didn't do anything with him today. Peter barbecued delicious steak for dinner, and for dessert Peter enjoyed molasses cookies (his favorite) that Conner made for him today. At dinner the kids commented on what a great day it was, and I really think it was because we started off having fun by serving together as a family. Now we are watching the Heat/Thunder basketball game. It has been such a great day today - we are truly blessed.
