Father's Day...

Let me start by saying...

I LOVE MY DADDY!!!!!!

I have such wonderful parents. My dad is a hero to me, a champion, and an example for me and everyone with whom he comes in contact. He is an amazing man. My sister did a wonderful post on him that says it all... you can click here to read it and I hope you will!

So today I headed to Chattanooga for a little Father's day fun! I met Mom, Dad, Ken, Sarah Marie, and Bentlee at Ankar's (where they eat almost every Sunday) for a yummy lunch and then headed to Mom and Dad's for a *perfect* Sunday afternoon!

I arrived first because everyone else had to make stops along the way. We all planned to spend the day in the pool and when I got there this is what I saw...


Take a closer look....

LOL! My parents have a pond that these two call home, but since the pool has been uncovered they have found it a refreshing place to be each afternoon for a little swim! :-) They weren't too happy that we crashed their party!

These were my views all afternoon....

Jealous yet???

We had so much fun just playing, talking, and soaking up the sun!!!! Here is my adorable mom! Doesn't she just look like she belongs in some little town by the beach!?!?

And here I am swimming with Bentlee, she is SO much fun! She swam the entire length of the pool with no swimmies by herself! I was so proud!

And, of course, my brother had to do some diving board tricks! This was MY ENTIRE childhood! Between the two of us we could do every trick in the book of the diving board! Every dive, every flip, ever cartwheel into the water... we had it going on! He pulled out the old backwards, twist-in-the-air dive and I caught it with my camera!

Take a closer look... Superman?

Here are Ken, Sarah, and Bentlee just chillin'...

And last, but not least, the man of the day! My Daddy. The one who provided all of this for us to enjoy!

I love you Daddy!!! Every girl should be as lucky as I am to have a father like you!
