Stider doesn’t want to do anything for Father’s Day. At least that what he says. Mox an so twisted his arm a bit and got lunch. Oh and also Dairy Queen. Behold the road side picnic where we celebrate Moxie’s fabulous dad and watch her enjoy her first ice cream cone. 

This is just after she has her first tiny taste. Huge smile. But then she gets serious. 

No more time for smiles. Only eating. No mentions of trucks, buses, or bikes as they pass. Only slurping that Dairy Queen goodness. 

Jobs well done. For Strider being amazing and for Mox for destroying a cone of vanilla soft serve. 
Also: happy happy Father’s Day to Moxie’s two grandpas. Both taught us so much about being parents. Both of then included a healthy amount of ice cream in our diets. Really this is all about tradition. 

Bibi and Babu came to town a couple weeks ago and helped us host an epic egg hunt for friends.  Our wonderful neighbors with a fabulous backyard offered to let us use their space.  So we “hid” over 100 eggs and drank mimosas and ate delicious food while the kids hunted.  The kinds of prizes included in the eggs were: dinosaurs, animals, raisins, chalk, race cars, dollar coins (!), and other toddler friendly stuff.  Each kid got a bank too.

It was an absolutely wonderful day and we appreciated everyone coming out to play.

This week we had a visitor: Aunt Bear (or as Mox says, “Beh”)!  She stayed with Mox and Jess while Strider went to a conference in Colorado.  It was wonderful.  We went to the zoo, a graveyard, on walks, to music class, and even survived because Bear was here.  Seriously.  It would have been a mess without her.

She loved the goats so much she wanted  to join them.

We wrapped up the day in a mess.  

After a wardrobe change we walked around Oak Hills Cemetery
