It was definitely a mellow day around our house this year but I think that is exactly what Daddy needed. Lucas woke up early but was very good at keeping quiet to let Daddy sleep in for Father's Day. He was very eager to run in and wish him a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY but was patient. Watching the Bee Movie and a quick trip to the park with Mommy helped too. After giving Daddy big hugs and kisses, we were off to the Circus. Mommy has many mixed feelings about the Circus but thought it would be fun for Lucas to check out. We received free tickets for military appreciation so we headed to the Circus. Unfortunately, Daddy was not able to join us. Sitting up for long periods of time is like torture for him. Peace and quiet for 2 hours at home was much more appreciated. 
Creepy photo of Mommy but hey, we're at the Circus...there's lots of creepy things! Expensive things too! Snow cones were $9.00 baby and luckily I convinced Lucas that his snow cones were much tastier at home! He did have his sights on new binoculars which I was excited about too because they were smaller than our current ones and actually worked...a little!
Here are his new binoculars...pretty sweet! Now, if only I could get him to believe me that the other end is for his eyes.
Notice the "look"...he wasn't ever really excited about the Circus. I think it was half confusing and half scary.
Let the show begin! Lucas did like the frisbee dogs, the bouncy people and the motorcycle on a wire rider.

There's that "look" again...trying to figure out just what a Circus is really all about?!?!?! He was ready to go after intermission so we headed out early to go home and spend some time with Daddy.
After a nap, Lucas was ready for fun with Daddy! However, first things first...we had to have a big snow cone just as messy as they ones he saw at the Circus. He usually has a request right before nap time. He'll ask me, "what do you want to do after nap Mommy?" I try to turn around the question and ask him the same thing. Today it was "a big snow cone...really, really messy like the ones at the Circus!" Watermelon popsicles and random things like going into the basement to see the big fan or water heater or whatever is on his mind have been on the list before. He won't forget and whatever was requested before nap will be the first thing he asks for after nap.
After our really, really messy snow cone, he pulled out all his stickers and colored pencils to make Daddy a card. It was a true work of art and I'll have to get a photo of it to post!
For the first time in MONTHS, the wind was calm and the boys were able to take out the remote control airplanes and helicopter. It was a beautiful calm evening and a rare one at that! Lucas gets soooo excited to help but still has a hard time remembering to be "gentle" but he does a really good job! For dinner, we decided not fight the crowds and grilled hamburgers. It was yummy cake and cupcakes for dessert to top everything off! The evening finished with some puzzle building and book reading of course. Mommy can't read books anymore before bed time, this is Daddy's job and Lucas won't have it any other way.
WE LOVE YOU DADDY!
