What a great Father's Day we had. It was Chad's first day off in . . . well we can't even remember the last day he had a day off, so it's been at least a couple months!

The day started out with the the whole family going to Church. Teagen is finally old enough to go in the nursery, and Sunday School is out for the summer, so it was fun sitting with Chad AND Maya during the service instead of by myself! (That is when I'm not sitting with my wonderful friends from Bible Study!!)

After Church we took Chad to a surprise lunch. Let me start by giving you some background. There is this little Mexican market off the 78 freeway. Literally every time we drive by we see a huge cloud of smoke coming off the bar-b-que and it always smells so good. EVERY time we drive by Chad says, "I really want to go there one day and try it." It has become a joke now and we try to see who can say it first. So the girls and I took him to lunch. We walked through the market and it was FABULOUS!! They had some really great things inside. We ended up leaving with some civiche, guac, a soda, horchata (or chachata as Maya likes to call it) and a killer steak sandwich. Chad couldn't resist and had to stop next door to boomer and kill a dollar worth of tokens playing games with Maya!

We got home, scarfed down our food and it was family nap time! We all laid down and slept WAY longer than we were planning! It felt so good to get some much needed rest, for all of us!

After nap time it was still in the 90's here (at early evening time) so we broke out the slip and slide for Maya (and a couple of neighborhood boys). It was so fun to just sit back, cocktail in hand and watch Maya go.

Dinner included bratwurst and the Laker game. How much better could it get?? What a fun day with the fam!
