tradition states we must go out for donuts in the morning. "donuts for dad!" the kids chant until it's time to go.
this year the big car was in the shop, so we had to take the little car. the little car does not fit six people. so dad stayed home with a grumpy boy and four of us headed to the donut shop down the road.
either donuts for dad is not a novel idea or the donut shop was under-staffed on this particular day... there were hardly any donuts to choose from! like, zero sprinkle donut choices. that is shocking to me! thankfully dad's favorite kind was in-stock. the boys didn't seem to mind that there weren't sprinkle donuts, probably because the only donuts that were left were the ginormous kind or the bars that could be filled with goo. they were pretty happy about that!
i have no pictures of getting donuts or eating donuts, which may or may not be a good thing! natalie was beside herself in the donut shop... "CHOCOLATE!!!" it was pretty cute.
after we came out of our sugar coma, we had spent a little time just hanging out with dad and having fun.

later in the day we had a dinner of chicken and veggie kebobs on the grill with rice. then we played a game of croquet.
the boys got their games faces on.
playing croquet takes focus and concentration...
and a little bit of body contortion!
awww!
there were some tears. there always are.
we gave dad a fire pit and the job of building us a fire :)
then we roasted marshmallows and made s'mores.
the day ended with a little basketball for the boys. unfortunately, there is only this shot of zach, but they all had fun playing "horse" together.
it was the perfect kind of day to celebrate dad!
