Today we celebrated Father's Day first at mass where Doug was an usher, Meg lectured and Cam was an altar server. It was special to us, not just because of the Father's Day blessing, but also as it was Meg's last time as a lector. As she starts as a camp counselor next weekend, she won't have time to read at mass for quite some time. After church we headed home for a delicious brunch that Doug had prepared. Cal was waiting on us when we arrived and Grandma Jane and Grandpa Cutes joined us as well bringing muffins and fruit for the feast. Everyone enjoyed the food and the company. Once we had finished, Doug and my Dad opened their gifts. Doug was extremely happy with his book on the Korean War, a gift bag of new clothes, a vegetable grill and berry Smirnoff from Cal. We surprised Grandpa with a new electric toothbrush as he had tried to fix his without luck. He also appreciated the new golf shirt and the family favorite, orange slices.
Everyone left for their own afternoon activities around one. Meg and Nick went to the zoo. They had a great time. Nick hadn't been to the zoo in a dozen years or so and really enjoyed it. Even though Meg had just went with us, she said his enthusiasm for all of the animals made her second trip as much fun as the first. Cameron played golf with Grandma as Grandpa had his regular game with the guys. Cam was happy to report that he had shot an 81. Cal stayed home with Doug and I, alternating between watching the Game of Thrones with me and the US Open with Doug. We appreciated his company for the afternoon. He decided to leave at 5 armed with plenty of leftovers. He made plans to come back over the fourth of July. The evening was a quiet one which I know Doug appreciated. He did do some yard work today, but most of what we had to get done this weekend was finished on Saturday. That left him with plenty of time to read his new book and to watch Woodland win the Open.
