"Daddy Day"

I have to give the show Weeds credit for this one. On the show, the father dies and leaves behind a wife and two sons. Well every year on a certain day they celebrate his life and do things that remind them of him, eat his favorite foods, watch his favorite movies, etc.

WELL, I decided this year that it would be a neat idea to do it for my dad. I talked to my mom, bro, sister, and John and we all decided we wanted to do it. We didnt make it a whole day, but we did an evening dedicated to him.

Wednesday after we got back from camping, John and I headed over to my parent's house. We picked up my family and then went out to get things that reminded us of dad. We ended up eating dinner at Subway, since he owned a bunch when we were little. Then we went to the grocery store and got some strawberries, cantaloupe, whoppers, milky ways, and of course cheesecake!

We went home and pigged out on everything! Then we played Wii bowling :D Daddy was great at bowling when he could play the real game, so one year we got him a Wii so he could still sorta play. So we played a few rounds of bowling and then watched Star Wars. If you ever knew my dad you know he LOVED Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. We had a lot of fun and it was nice to spend some time remembering who he was and all his favorites. :D

This was our first year doing it, so I wasnt sure how it would go over. BUT it was great! Next year will be even better :D We have already planned to actually go bowling :D I already cant wait!
I didnt get may pictures, but I did get my mom playing the Wii :D

I love and miss you so much daddy! Daddy Day was a great way to spend part of my vacation for sure :D
