Father's Day Weekend

A holiday that I never "celebrated" as a child growing up has actually become one of the more important holidays in my household. Having two boys I know that the relationship they have with their dad is one of, if not the most important, relationship they will have in their life. Watching Chad interact with my boys, especially Cade right now, is one of the most heartwarming things for a mother and a wife. Knowing that they truly bring joy to his life and seeing how much he loves making them happy is one of the best feelings. And he proved that again this Father's Day as we spent the day at Sea World with Cade. Why not both boys you ask?? Well Cason is still only two months old and the tempature on Sunday in San Antonio hit 104!!! Therefore, we didn't figure it would be the best idea to get him out and about on a day like that. Plus, it was good for us to spend the day with Cade and give him that undivided attention he used to get before Cason came along. So, we dropped Cason off with my mom early and headed out. It was a LOOONG day to say the least, but the excitement on Cade's face was well worth it. We rode some of the new Seasame Street rides, the shamu coaster, fed the dolphins, played in the waterpark and watched the Azul show and of course Shamu himself. Cade loved it and since we have fun passes now, we may make another trip before the end of the year. Saturday night, Cade and I cooked and decorated Chad a cookie cake. When I was picking up his gift at the mall they had a booth selling Father's Day cookie cakes and I thought it would be fun (and more special) for us to do it ourselves. So we did!! Chad doesn't eat sweets much - the only two he likes are chocolate chip cookies and the occasional cheesecake so it only made sense to try. It actually came out pretty good and Cade had a blast helping!!
