So this day, I sadly do not have any pics of the events that transpired. But it went something like this.
I woke up, and since I had brought my ice cream maker *another b-day gift from dad* to Washington, my goal was to make him some homemade ice cream for fathers day. He came home from Diane's early and we decided to go...hmm where else?! THE GRANGE CAFE. I know, I know I am obsessed...this is also the 2nd day in a row. No bigs right?? So we went there...no reservations and of course it was PACKED since it was fathers day! Everybody and their mother...errr father..was there. Ridiculous. We were finally seated down, and I ordered biscuits and gravy (something other then my normal) and my dad had eggs benedict. It was delicious!! I of course had the hot chocolate as well..because it really is what dreams are made of. You think I am kidding you...but I am not. How many times do I really need to tell you to go try it. AMAZEBALLS. Anyway, after breakfast, we went to the store, so I could pick up some ingredients for the homemade ice cream. Mint with oreo cookies was on the menu. Except for the running joke in my family is that because my dad is SUPER frugal...we don't buy "Oreos" we buy "Tuxedos" the cheap knock off. :)
My dad informed me that he hadn't been able to find Tuxedos in awhile so good luck finding them. Well I found them...and I showed him my loot. He is convinced that they stopped carrying them for awhile because there was a shortage. Everyone wanted the tuxedo cookies and they just ran out. Really dad? A Tuxedo Famine...is that what you are telling me!? HaH! Okay...well maybe...okay..yeah no.
Anyway, I went home and made him some ice cream..and then he kept mentioning that he really wanted to watch a 3d movie. He kept mentioning that "we should watch a movie" I finally got the hint, and we sat down and watched Shrek Forever After in 3d...pretty neat stuff. It was fun to watch and great to spend time with my dad, since normally we are so busy..we don't really get to see much of each other. After the movie, I took a brief nap, and then had to hit the road to go back to Oregon. LAME.
All in all..Happy Fathers day Dad...you are the best dad a girl could ask for. Thank you for everything. And I love you lots!!
Insert Awkard hug. Its the Amos way
