Sat June 20th

 We started the Father's Day festivities today. We made Nick breakfast in bed (we have 9am church so we decided to do it today instead); bacon, amulet (eggs, cheese, spinach, tomatoes, bell peppers) and orange juice. Then Link took a snooze and Nick got a little relaxation time (a very little...he spent most of it working, poor guy never gets a real break). 

After Link's snooze we went to Scheel's to spend Nick's gift card Lisey won. The girls modeled some sunglasses. 

Then Nick took the girls for a spin on the Ferris wheel. Scheel's is a really fun store. We had fun looking around and planning future adventures. 

We found some more Lincoln memorabilia to take pictures of with Lincoln. 

Then we went to an Indian buffet for lunch/dinner. Nick and I loved it. The girls kind of like it. They at least tried most things and enjoyed the rice and the naan bread. The owner was very friendly and was chatting with us and was making jokes about Ella coming over and eating with him. She laughed and laughed, but without missing a beat and in the middle of a laugh, she said "stranger danger" very loudly. It was so so funny. Nick and I laughed and laughed. Ella was absolutely right, but it was just the wrong time to be saying it so loudly. A little awkward but a lot funny. 

Then we went to the mall so Nick choose his Father's Day present. I told him he could choose between rainbow slippers, sunglasses, or new clothes. In the end it came down to the rainbow slippers and the sunglasses and sunglasses won. Nick is very very stylish :). 

Then we went home so Lincoln could take a nap. Our plan all day was to go see the new Disney movie Inside Out, but we thought it best to where the kids first. I guess it took longer than we expected to wear them out because by the time they were worn out the next showing was 7 PM. It was late and we felt crazy for taking them but a promise is a promise so we went at 7 PM.

 Nick, Ella and I really enjoyed it. I don't think Lisey understood a lot of the humor and therefore didn't like it very much. And Lincoln was just plain tired. I had to walk him around and feed him before he finally fell asleep. Even though it was late and the kids were kind of restless, I'm really glad we went. It was really great to spend a day with the family, especially with Nick with us. 

PS Lincoln has been sleeping very poorly lately. Last night was a continuation of that. Oh dear sleep, I sure do miss you.
