Well when you are three hours from the nearest Walmart, and more to the main shopping town, you tend to bundle a whole bunch of stuff into one day, so then you go long periods of time collection activities, lists, and needs until the much awaited day when you go to town. You leave very early in the morning and are lucking if you make it home very early in the morning of the next day. Today was such a day!
Now while these days tend to be strenuous, but they always include lots of laughs and memories!
For today's agenda we are hauling some steers for the Ranch that dad works at, delivering the last pup from the litter, and best of all, celebrating my wonderful Daddy!
Dad, when asking for a day off, told his boss that we wanted to take him someplace special for his birthday. His boss paid for our trip by having us drop off the cows and as a birthday gift for dad, he bought our lunch!
 |
| This is where the pup rode all day, he did great! It sure is fun to have a pup along! |
 |
| At the thrift store he "helped" with the shopping. |
Lunch was at a family favorite, Olive Garden.
But before we went in, Dad got his gift.
 |
| Gabe, Shea, and Garrett keeping dad from the van while the girls got it ready for him. |
 |
| I love this face! It isn't often that we can surprise dad! I think he likes it! |
 |
| He actually came home and broke it in by running his new weed-eater all afternoon. The pasture looks amazing now! |
 |
| I so love these two! |
Dad's boss made the joke that we needed to take dad to a Mexican restaurant so he could wear the sombrero. Well we went to an Italian Restaurant, so this was the best he could do.
We ended the day with some shopping and the opportunity to meet some wonderful people who were excited to get their puppy!
We are daily blessed with the Daddy that God saw fit to design for our family! I am so proud of him and all he does, it is so wonderful to have a day set aside like this for such a special man!
