Father's Day Gifts

The boys and I decided to surprise Chris and Guka on Saturday (June 20) morning with their Father's Day gifts. We had very limited time at home, and I really wanted them to be able to get some use out of the gifts before we left for Orlando (which just so happened to be the very next day.) So Saturday morning, after breakfast, Luke helped me hand out the gifts...he even got one...even though he doesn't really meet the criteria of being a gift receiver on Father's Day. =)

First - two pictures from breakfast. This was the first morning Chris was home - and Luke was just beside himself to be right next to daddy...he just kept looking up at Chris and smiling! It was so cute and very touching.



Here are the boys checking out the Father's Day gift...


Fishing poles! One for Guka, Chris and Luke! Now it's off to the river...

Guka makes the first cast of the day!

I did not participate in the fishing festivities...I just took pictures - but not this picture. Aunt Marge took this picture so I could actaully be in one of them! =)

Happy Fishers!

Will pondering the purpose of fishing...or just thinking about lunch maybe...

Father and son!

The first catch of the day was on Luke's spiderman fishing pole! Chris had to reel it in...

Here he is! A big catfish!

The fish was able to wiggle out of the hook before Chris could reel him all the way up. But I thought it was a pretty good catch for Luke's first catch ever!

Later Chris caught a carp(?) - here he's showing it to Luke...Luke didn't want to touch it at all...

Will was a bit more interested...but didn't want to touch it either. After a quick glance, the fish went back in the water.

Guka fishing away!

Fun was had by all!

It started raining, so off we went to the house!

Uncle Randy and Julianne came for a visit right after that, so Chris was able to spend a little time with Julianne.

And this was all before lunchtime! =) More pictures to come!
