Father's Day 2011

Father's Day was peacefully enjoyable.  Burt was especially sweet to me today and after church we went down to visit Mom and Dad in Riverton. Mom had prepared our wonderful family favorite dinner, Pot roast, carrots, potatoes, and the best part - mashed potatoes and gravy!  It was so nice to sit and visit for a bit before Dad had to leave for work.

We told stories around the dinner table, one of which I had never heard.  We were teasing about Dad's favorite pajamas being ripped, and that led to several stories of Burt ripping his pants.

Most recently, at Burt's work party in December 2010 the group was playing XBOX 360 Kinect.  Burt was competing against a co-worker "jumping hurdles" on the game, they were running the last lap of the track, and Burt was sprinting through the hurdles when "er-rip" sounded as his denim jeans split front to back. Burt didn't notice as he was almost to the finish line, as everyone started laughing he became more aware of the draft. ;)

Dad then relayed a story from high school, when he was jumping on the trampoline in the gymnasium when his shorts ripped.

We all shared a good laugh and had a great time together.  Ironically, Dad's Father's Day gift was a new set of pajamas.

When we got home, Burt and I did some touch up paint and hung some pictures in preparation for Mom and Dad Ferguson coming in a couple of weeks. :)
