Happy Father's Day (belated)

Happy Father's Day! We hope everyone had a nice weekend. We went up to Loveland on Saturday and spent some time with my Grandparents. My grandfather (maternal) is in a nursing home. We went up to Loveland and took him home for a few hours. We had a nice lunch and the kids roamed and kid invaded their home as usual. It was a really nice day. My Mom got my Grandfather a machine known as the Presto. I had never heard of it before but what it is, is a machine that we can send emails to him with pictures. The machine simply prints them out for him at the designated times that he has chosen. He cannot reply to the emails, he doesn't have to push any buttons to receive the email, they simply just print out at his times he has picked. It is so awesome! I have sent him two emails already with pictures of the kiddos attached. It is nice that he has something to look forward to everyday. My goal...to send him at least one email per day. If you have an elderly relative who can get lonely this is the perfect gift. Oh yeah and the only people who can send him emails are people who are on the approved list-so that means no SPAM!!!

Yesterday we (the kids and Shane) went to Waterworld for the day. Father's get in free on Father's Day, our kids are free because of their ages, and I only had to pay $13 since we live in the resident discount area. Very cheap day!! We don't buy any of the junk food there-we bring our own picnic lunch. We had a ton of fun. Caleb was not to keen for any of the rides this year (very opposite attitude in comparison to last year) but he had fun playing in Wally World. Haley was just doing what 7 month olds do-splashing and sitting in the water.
