Happy Father’s Day to all the Fathers out there!

Today, I hope, we have continued a tradition. I had mentioned in an earlier post how I remembered going to McDonald’s with my father on Father’s Day and how I missed those days. Well this morning was the first of, I hope, many Father’s Day breakfasts at McDonald’s with my daughter. I woke up early and drove downriver so that Kylie, Tiffany, and I could all go have breakfast just like my Dad and I used to do. It was very nice and very special for me, and I can’t wait until Kylie becomes old enough to understand the meaning and the origins of the tradition.

The rest of the day was very nice as well. We went and had a nice late lunch / early dinner at Outback and went and did some shopping to prepare for Kylie’s upcoming birthday party. We were going to try and go to the Taylor Petting Farm, but it was closed by the time we got there.

Kylie made me two very nice cards and went to the Teddy Bear factory and made me a stuffed Shrek. Tiffany told me that when they were at the Teddy Bear factory she said “Kylie, what should we get Daddy for Father’s Day?” and Kylie walked over to the display Shrek, picked it up, turned to Tiffany and said “Daddy.” Not only is this extremely adorable, but it fits as well, as Shrek is Fraternity nick name. So Tiffany decided that they had to get this for me, and so she helped Kylie build me my Shrek.
