Father's Day Fun

All the storms later in the day aside, Father's Day was great for our family.

Chris got his camo fishing sunglasses and some light thing to wear on his hat for fishing at night. He was happy as a clam. Chris's Dad got a fire ring with his name cut out of the metal (Chris had it made at work). He was happy as a clam. My dad got Mexican beer. Again, happy as a clam.

We didn't get to have a weenie roast with Chris's dad because of the nasty weather, but we will play catch up when it dries out. That is one of our families favorite things to do on the farm.

So, how did we spend Father's Day? At Mom and Dad's pond. It was H - O - T hot!! There was no question about what to do. Boating made it even better with the breeze blowing in your hair. Mom caught enough fish the day before to feed everyone (well, except for me, I cannot *will not* eat fish and I got chicken) and we had french fries and hush puppies to go with. Kinda funny though, the dad's ended up cooking everything!!
A few pictures of our fun in the sun day:
Grady and his Daddy swimming. That little booger just takes off as long as he's wearing his life jacket.
T-Bone's review of the day: 1 thumb up

My brother diving off the back of the pontoon boat. He got a little crispy on the front side of his legs. You can only imagine seeing how white the back sides are! Hope you're not sore little brother!

What's a fire ring?

Are there pics?

You know a ring for making a fire for weenie roasts?? Instead of the totally redneck idea of using an old rusty wheel off a tire that blew 5 years ago, this is made from scrap from Chris's work and someone there used the cutting table to cut the name out. I will take a picture of Chris's one here in our yard and post it so you will see what I am talking about.
