part 2 of father's day weekend

Today, I am going to sum up the rest of our Father's Day weekend. Sunday arrived and we all headed to my parents' house to celebrate Father's day and my grandmother's 88th birthday. The weather wasn't in our favour. The weather went something like this - rain, sunshine, clouds, rain but we still managed to have a great time. The kids spent most of their time throwing rocks into the river, catching their very first fish, and playing hide-and-go-seek. I think daddy enjoyed these activities too, as he was out there with them the whole time.

They also enjoyed spending time with their great-grandmother for her 88th birthday. Over the last several years, this woman has showed incredible strength as she has beat some pretty strong odds. Even while facing extreme illness, she has a smile on her face and can crack a joke.

It was a wonderful day spent with family and of course it wouldn't be complete without a wonderfully delicious feast!
Love this lady.
