Fun with Daddy!

We spent Father's day doing things we don't normally take the time to do.  We took the boys fishing to a pond just outside of Beaver Crossing.  We didn't have much luck but enjoyed the chance to be together and relax outside.

After lunch and naps, we headed over to the community pool in Beaver Crossing.  Unfortunately the "baby pool" was not operational so we spent some time in the "big pool".  We tried putting a life jacket on Ralph hoping he'd enjoy the freedom (or at least relax a little).  He tolerated it but still wanted to be held onto with two hands.  We tried a puddle jumper jacket (arm and chest floaties) on Henry but he would not cooperate - he didn't cooperate when we tried to get him to try it on at the store either but we were hopeful he was just being cranky at the store . . nope, just cranky towards the jacket in general. We did bring balls the boys could throw and swim after - fresh off the swimming lessons Henry paddled until his arms would not paddle anymore; Ralph liked the idea but there was no denying he still does not like the water much. We did get both boys to blow bubbles.

Ralph and Mike did play catch for a bit.  On the way back to Lincoln, Ralph suggested we could skip the pool next time so we would have more time to play "baseball."
