"This is the best father's day ever." - Craig Day

My dad simply LOVED our presents that we gave him this year for father's day. I made him a little scrapbook of ALL of our past family vacations, with captions of all the people in it. Took a little bit of my time, but holy hanna was it ever with it. Also, all of us kids came up with lists of things that my dad has taught us over the years. I was able to come up with a list of 100. My siblings also made their lists, I don't know how long. Jared even emailed some things from Chile. We all took the time to make some special things that he's taught us, including famous sayings. Angie put them into a nice book also, and he was more than happy with that one. "This is the best father's day ever." he said. The best thing about it was how he laughed at some of them and truly enjoyed the sincere ones. But I applauded out loud when he climbed on the counter acting like a monkey, eating bananas, and digging in mom's hair for imaginary bugs to eat. I haven't seen that since I was about 8 years old. He also got nice shirts from the boys, pants from mom, and a tie from Angie. We love you, dad. No words can describe how much you've taught me, and what a wonderful childhood I had. We are all so lucky to have your influence in our lives.
