It was an eventful Father's Day for Karl this year. We spent Saturday at the pool and wore the kids out. Carlita is really into making and selling cupcakes (Cupcake selling) so the rest of the day was doing that.
Sunday the kids and I got up early and jumped on Karl to wake him up. They gave him their present - a painted plate. Very cute. Then as every other father did on Sunday morning we went to IHOP for breakfast. Very good. Then Karl and the kids went off blueberry picking at the UD campus while I got all the bags we needed for a surprise trip. I had purchased tickets to the Wilmington & Western Railroad from a Groupon special. They were having a Father's Day trip. So once they all returned we were off. Karl had no clue until we drove into the train station. The kids (and Karl) were very excited.
I was surprised to see how packed the train was. It seems alot of people were thinking like I. The train ride was 45 minutes to Mt. Cuba Meteor picnic area. We disembarked the train, and had a very nice picnic and then back on the train. Great fun!!!
Then we went to the Western Y pool to wear the kids out more and by 3pm they were passed out in the car driving home. Carlita spent the afternoon making crafts, Karl napped, and I BBQ'ed up some ribs and corn for the big papa. My gift to Karl was massages which he needs one so badly. I am lucky to have a great partner in life who loves being a father and is so caring and compassion. Love you Karl and Happy Father's day.
