Happy Dad's Day!

Father's Day is one that means more than ever now that we are able to celebrate not only having two Amazing Dads, but also being an Amazing Dad and celebrating with our own kids!  The day started out like most others... which means our alarms (aka: Kasey and Karsten) decided to go off at an unplanned 6am.  "No sleeping in, Dad!"  While Dad and Kids cuddled in for some Mickey Mouse Playhouse, Amy snuck downstairs to whip up a yummy breakfast burrito and OJ for Dad to enjoy in bed.  He opened some cute presents from the boys that they made at School, grabbed a couple more hugs and kisses and decided to get in gear for the day.

Look at my gift next, Dad.

We were not able to just loaf around today... nope - we had plans on the Water!  Kris decided his perfect Dad's day was to be spent at Chatfield Reservoir with his wife and two Stellar boys.  We definitely enjoyed our day.

Your not trying to nap, are you Dad.

 Amy even gave Kris a break from the boys as she took them out for a swim on the tube.

Look at me splashing in the water, Mommy.

 She even came up with a great way to keep both boys under control and is now working on her 'Carabineer Kid' patent.

How do you control 2 kids at once,

After all that fun... some of us needed a tiny nap

Dad's chest is really comfortable to sleep on.

Of course, a day on the water is not complete without a Paliga in the picture!  Jim's family also decided to spend their Dad's day on the water too!  We had a great time playing with them on the water and are thankful they wanted to share their family time with us!

All in all, we think it was a pretty successful Dad's day.  No one got too burned from the Hot, Hot sun and we were all tuckered out pretty early... which was a good thing since the next day was Kris' FIRST OFFICIAL DAY AS A MOLSON COORS EMPLOYEE!
