Father's Day 2012

We had a pretty incredible Father's Day, if I do say so myself.  It started off with the kids making an amazing tie for Dave for Father's Day (thank you Jenn and Mary for the idea).  The kids loved making it and Dave actually wore it!  

The kids used stamps to make finger print insects on the tie (it is the best I could come up with!:))  They made butterflies, caterpillars, ants, bees.

We took some father's day pictures...I love how my nephew Kaiden is in all of these pictures.
 It must mean that he thinks Dave is the best Dad ever. ;)  (that's for Andrew)

We made a special dinner for Dave and just spent time
 playing the game spoons and hanging out as a family.

And maybe the best part of the whole day.... 
MEETING MITT ROMNEY!!!!

Yes, that is Dave and Trevor in the background.  We arrived at this pancake breakfast for Mitt and it was pouring rain.  As we walked in (dressed in our Sunday clothes) we were greeted by the campaign staff who said they had special seats for us.  We were immediately ushered to a "reserved" table.  It was in the back of the stage and we were joking around about how "special" they really were.  We were kind of far away and watching the back of people as they gave their speeches.

The next thing we knew, the clouds parted and the sun began to shine (no joke) just as Mitt Romeny's bus rolled in--RIGHT BEHIND US!   Mitt Romney and his wife and their son got out and shook all of our hands and asked us how we were doing and made small talk right before they walked to the stage to speak.  It was so cool.The next day we saw that Trevor and Dave made all of the newspapers that covered this story (they were standing on a table together so they could see...the other kids were up there at various points too).
