Father's Day

We love celebrating Mark! I knew exactly what kind of dad I hoped our kids would have, and they got even better! He truly is the best! I hope our kids realize how lucky they are to have the kind of dad that is 100% involved and supportive of everything they do.

We celebrated Father's Day with dinner and presents at Sawyer and Amanda's house. Amanda made him fancy pigs in a blanket and homemade mac n cheese. We call it Mark's death row meal, because it's what he would choose for his last meal. He gets it on Father's Day and sometimes his birthday. Amanda classed it up a bit though. 😂 Dinner was followed with presents. Pistachios and an awesome shirt from Sawyer and Amanda, and a tree saw and Dude's Day in the Mountains from me! 

Pistachios have been his favorite since he was a teenager.

He had to pick out his own tree saw, so I needed something fun to surprise him with. He gets to spend a day on the 4 wheeler in the mountains with Phil and Eric. Lunch and dinner included!

His tree saw is awesome, and he used it for a huge project on the farm. That will be posted with the July Cider Bend post.

His shirt from Amanda. Hahaha, I love it!

Mark redeemed his gift in Ashton and Island Park. The guys had a great day, and so did the girls! Phil and Eric were in the razor, and Mark was on the 4 wheeler. First they rode to Ponds Lodge for lunch, making a few scenic stops along the way. Then they rode up Sawtell, and around Island Park. They covered 135 miles. When they got back, we had a steak dinner ready for them. So fun!

They saw two moose!

While the guys were out playing, Joyce, Steph, and I were having plenty of fun ourselves. We did a 6 mile walk/jog on Joyce's road. Then we took the e-bikes to Teardrop Lake. I've never ridden an e-bike, and I had so much fun! We did 24 miles, and at first I was thinking there was no way I could go 24 miles on a bike. I haven't really biked in years. But since we could go so much faster on the e-bikes, it was a breeze. On the way out, I didn't have the bike assist me very much. Then I went full assist most of the way back, and had a blast! I cruised up the hills, and at one point, Joyce and I got up to 35 miles an hour. So stinking fun!

I thought the dirt road would be hard, but the bikes made it so easy!

Cute little lake. We're coming back up to kayak it.

It was a fun way to celebrate our guys! Happy Father's Day Mark!
