We had a wonderful laid back four day weekend celebrating Aaron being am amazing daddy. I thought it would be sweet for us to make Father's Day extra special for him by making him special art. I love doing crafts with Connor for different holidays and special occasions, so crafts for Father's Day was definitely a must. After nap time on Thursday was the perfect day for us to do them. Connor painted a couple watercolor pictures, drew on the inside of a card that I made, and made a superhero out of his hand print and foot print all for his daddy. He had a lot of fun doing it and was so excited to give them to him on Sunday.
On Friday 6/17 Connor's class celebrated Father's Day by having watermelon with dad at school. Aaron was off on Friday, so he was pretty excited to be able to go. We got there a little early, so we got to watch Connor pick his classroom job for the day {tell his class what the weather was} and show his airplane to his friends during show-and-tell. At 9:30 they served watermelon and juice outside. After they ate, they were able to play at the playground. Connor had so much fun playing with his daddy.
When we picked Connor up from school at 11:30, he wasn't quite ready to go home. He wanted to play hide-and-seek with us on the football field. We played with him for a little while and let him get a little more energy out before going home and taking a nap. We had a special surprise for him when he woke up, but he needed to be rested and in a good mood to get it.

After we woke up from our nap, we surprised Connor and told him we were taking him to watch Finding Dory at the movies. We totally made his day after that!
Waiting in line for the movie! :)
He thought it was so cool that his candy turned his tongue blue.
He did pretty good for it being his first movie.
On Sunday we celebrated Father's Day at home. I let Aaron sleep in and then cooked him breakfast when he woke up. After breakfast, Aaron opened up his presents and read Connor a new book we added to his gift bag.
They are so cute!
We planned on going for a walk to the park before it started raining, but as soon as we left our house it started drizzling. Since we were already outside, we let the dogs and Connor run around in the field behind out house. They all had fun playing... Aaron included.
We spent the rest of the day watching movies, taking a nap, and grilling steaks for dinner, which is just what Aaron likes to do and made the day just perfect for him! {I was a little bummed that we didn't just go with our original plan for the day and visit Sirmione and the thermal spa, but we did it on Monday and had such blast. I'll write a whole separate post on that tomorrow!} I hope you all had a fun Father's Day celebrating the special fathers in your life.
XOXO,
Jenn
