For Andy’s first Father’s Day we took Ben swimming at the YMCA camp’s outdoor pool. I didn’t take any pictures because honestly, I was just focused on getting there and enjoying it. Ben was pretty scared of all the screaming and splashing from other kids and I don’t blame him. Andy said “Everyone else brought their spawn to the pool on Father’s Day too!” There was a little kiddie area with sprinklers and a small wading area that he enjoyed much better. Poor kid looked kind of dorky in his hat, surf shirt, shorts and spf50…if he’s anything like his mama he’ll burn real good and I didn’t want to take a chance.

I bought Andy this child bike seat, not a gift totally for him…but he loves riding bikes and we didn’t do it last year because I was large and pregnant (read unsteady and even more clumsy than usual). So this year I wanted to make sure we were able to get out as a family and do it. I guess you’re not supposed to strap your kid in a bike seat until they’re a year old, but Ben sits up fine and didn’t seem bothered by the bike helmet so I think it’ll work out well!

I’m so thankful for Andy and how awesome a daddy he is! Hope you had a nice Father’s Day too :)
