Fathers Day

We combined Doug's b-day and Fathers Day into a one day event. (just makes it easier for everyone to travel) We celebrated on Sat. again just makes life easier for everyone.
The day began with Doug heading in to town to pick up his son inlaw "Nate- the Master Fence builder"( he did this for a living for along time). Then they headed to Home depot. Doug must have been in paradise!! It's his favorite store! Once they got their supplies they headed back home where Nate and Doug, with the help of Jesse.,(I think he got stuck doing all the hard grunt work) built two back gates. They serve two purposes. One we know we can't lose any kids out that way. Two-they keep our dog home (well better than before) and other dogs out of the yard.

After- on smaller gate

Nate even helped Doug do a fancy rounded cut on the fence. It looks nice. Now we just have to agree on a color for the gates and rest of the fence. I say dark blue would go best with the house and hide dirt. Doug seems to favor lighter colors. Tressa said he was contemplating purple and gold. Letting his true logger spirit out. I veto that, so the debate goes on.

Then everyone headed in for b-qued burgers and dogs. Yes -Doug did have to do alittle cooking on fathers day/b-day... but we didn't want anything but the best for him and the boys...and he does cooked them the best!
Later after naps.. we sang happy birthday and had angel food cake with french silk frosting. Which is the best. I followed his moms lead and made two cakes so we would have some left for the next day!

The grandkids had fun together. Over all it was a nice day. good to see everyone. Hopefully all the dads got some rest on the real fathers day.
