Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there. I hope you had a good time remembering all that the day commemorates. You guys well deserve it!

We have been busy around here yet without much pictures to show for it. We went up to Little Talbot Island with a group of our friends that were going camping. We didn't want to spend the night, especially since it was a last minute come along thing, but we enjoyed going and hanging out around the campfire and tent setting. It was a tad bit hot when we first arrived, but as the sun started setting we didn't have too much of an issue. We got to take the kids to the beach for a while, and roast marshmallows, which as everyone knows is the essence of camping.

While we were at the beach, we watched as multiple police, ambulances, and helicopters literally raced to the shoreline across the inlet from us. Apparently the tides are known for getting rather swift around the area we were at and a swimmer had been reported missing. Unfortunately, the outcome for that individual was not the one hoped for each time they are called out. It was interesting though to see the rescue personnel in action, and yet we were still very thankful to be far enough away not to have to see too much. Makes you appreciate the day that God gave you even more though.

While I took the camera along for this adventure, I never did take a single picture. Maybe I will get a few from the group we went with, and be able to post them a little later.

Today for Father's day, we basically just stayed around the house and ran some errands. We didn't do anything noteworthy except try and let dad relax a little on his day off.
