Father's Day 2012

Yesterday was Father's Day. This is not a holiday I have had to celebrate with a significant other. All new to me. So... what do you do for your fiance with all 4 kids for Father's day? You make a video...and then go on a family hike.

Here's the video:

Our family hike was to Jones Run Falls in the Shenandoah National Park. This was a brave 3.4 mile hike for our first time hiking and for taking all 4 kiddos. Although Katelyn fought with us (and lost) about what she was going to do and where she was going to hike, Mikayla felt faint, Sydney said she was tired, and Jessyca was just determined she was going to be the first to the end -- I would call it a success. 

Eric loved the video (brought a few tears I think) and then had a good time spending the day with us on our outdoor adventure. We have decided that maybe hiking is not our thing at this point with a challenging two year old. Maybe next year?? 

At least we enjoyed the beautiful scenery....
