Every year at this time Dave realizes he has a whole bunch of vacation time that needs to be used up. Now we would love to cruise the Caribbean or backpack through Tibet, but our budget limits most of his vacation time to being my personal errand runner and carpool driver. I don’t know if it was the vacation he imagined, but I have spent a glorious week not running to the store, letting Dave take Ian to school, taking uninterrupted showers, going to the gym, and today I went out to just take some pictures for an hour.
The kids have enjoyed sitting by daddy at lunch, playing Angry Birds on his iPhone, reading books with him, going to the store with him, watching “Mighty Machines” with him and enjoying all the goodies he brings home from the store that don’t ever make it into the cart when mommy does the shopping.
Here is Wes enjoying the BBQ potato chips that daddy brought home. Good stuff.

I think that sometimes when Daddy gets to have days off work at home, both parents end up getting a vacation. I'm glad you got some down time with all your family, not to mention uninterrupted showers! :)
Wes looks so grown-up in this picture. His eyes are so beautiful.
As far as dads go, I think it is kind of their job to bend the rules sometimes. Yay for treats and lunches with Dad. :)
