happy father's day

Today we spent hanging out as a family.  We are camping.  We went to a fun water park.  We ate ribs and cabbage that the master griller made.

We are very thankful for Dale.  He is a fabulous father, husband, worker, teacher, craftsman, EMT (in training) and an all around great guy.   I am especially thankful that he is Carsyn, Luke and Reagan's dad!

I love you dad,
Carsyn

You are the best father in the world.
love,
Reagan

You are always there to help.
Luke

ballet

Reagan had her first ballet recital tonight. Her class was "autumn leaves". It was the cutest 120 seconds I have ever witnessed.
