Hello Monday on Tuesday

Hello!

I hope your week is off to a great start. So far this summer I’ve had a hard time getting into a blogging routine. I think I feel pulled in many directions more than ever before! *sigh*

Anyway, I still wanted to recap our weekend because we had a good one and a really nice Father’s Day Sunday.

On Friday, I started my morning drinking coffee from my new favorite mug. I was back watching the Today Show rather than looking at mountain views, but it’s always nice to be home.

Honestly, I spent most of the afternoon at school getting ready for the next two weeks of summer school….so nothing exciting there.

Although…since I knew I’d be at school during lunchtime, I picked up Chick-fil-a before getting to school. I tried something new (to me) – the chicken Cobb salad with half avocado lime dressing and 1/2 honey mustard dressing. It was so good.

That evening, Travis and Hayden went to Hayden’s basketball game and then out to dinner.

Our friends had some neighbors over for “movie night,” and Hadley went there around 7:00. I joined them a little after 8:00 after having the other half of my salad for dinner. We were there pretty late and went to bed as soon as we got home.

Saturday morning, I slept until 10! Honestly, I had a hard time falling asleep, so I probably got 8 hours of rest once I finally fell asleep….but 10:00 is unheard of for me. Then, I picked Homer up from groomer.

Travis and kids were gone most of the day, so I finished up with some Father’s Day things and did a few house chores and laundry. I went to Target, the library, and then picked up Trav’s Father’s Day cake.

While at Target, I saw individual cans of Olipop. I feel like influencers used to share this brand all the time, but I never knew they sold it at Target…even better that you can buy individual ones that are already cold. Anyway, the grape flavored one was so good!

Travis and the kids were on their way back in town, so they called me and I met them at Goodfella’s for pizza. It so nice that it’s patio weather right now.

On Sunday, Travis and I were up early. He went for a run, and I drank my coffee and watched tv.

Then, we left the house around 10:15 to make our way to Canoe Kentucky/Elkhorn Creek to kayak with friends.

On the way there, I called my dad to wish him a Happy Father’s Day. I had to time it before golf started! haha

We’ve done this one other time, and that time we were in a canoe. It was nice letting everyone have their own kayak, but that also meant I had to make sure everyone was keeping up/not far ahead or behind. That being said, the water level was pretty low, so I wasn’t too concerned about that. As a matter of fact, in some spots, we wished there was more water. haha

We kayaked for a bit and then make a pit stop. We were with three other families, so it was nice to pitstop and let the kids swim a bit.

The girls had lots of fun…

….as did the rest of us.

We kayaked about five miles which took around 3 hours.

After our kayak session, we were tired!….and hungry. In the shop, we picked up some drinks and let the kids get some ice cream.

Then, we made our way to West Sixth Farm.

We knew the dads would like a beer or two. They had a food truck, so we got some tacos too.

The perk of having older kids is they all just hung out while the adults chatted.

We were there about an hour before coming home. Everyone showered, and we ordered take out Thai food. Our friends had mentioned it, and we thought that sounded good (and easy!) too.

After dinner we celebrated Travis with cake…(instead of cookie cake, this year, I picked up an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins)

…and a few gifts.

While Travis and I were out of town, my mom helped the kids with this Father’s Day present.

It turned out so cute.

They spray painted their Sonic drink carrier, made these tags, and picked up some supplies/goodies.

We also got him a new wallet (since he seems to lose his once a year, this is almost a tradition) and some running shorts.

I love this pic from Trav’s first Father’s Day in 2010. Obviously, the kids look much older, but he’s pretty much stayed the same! 😉

The rest of the evening, Travis and Hayden watched a movie, Hadley chilled, and I watched the end of the US Open.

Overall, it was a good weekend and a great Father’s Day.

I hope to find my blogging groove this week, but we’ll just see how it goes.
