Last Week - Father's Day

We left Pinehurst fairly early Sunday morning so we could make it back to my parents house for lunch and to celebrate Father's day with my dad. We will be heading to the beach this up coming weekend for a late Father's day celebration with David's dad and of course fireworks on the fourth.
But last weekend we had a delicious lunch and wonderful time hanging out with my family. The guys grilled out steaks and pork while us ladies prepared the rest of the meal inside. After lunch, we had watermelon for dessert - a perfect summertime treat. The we gave Dad his Father's day gift while we had tea. My brother, David and I all went in together on this awesome gift for Dad. I think it was one of the best, if not the best Father's day presents ever. Just look at how happy he is with it!
It was about time for Dad to get a new watch, as he had had his old one for 25 or 30 years! He had been looking for one he liked for a while, and never suspected that he would get one from us for Father's day, so he was very surprised, but very happy too! It's a little hard to see in the picture, but the watch we picked out for him is a two tone Lucien Piccard with tiny diamonds in place of the numbers. He was so eager to wear it that he wouldn't even wait and take it to a jeweler to get the links removed. He fashioned his own "pin remover tool" and worked on resizing it himself that night so he could wear it the next day. I must say, it is a very sharp looking watch. It looks great on him and best of all, he loves it!
We spent the rest of the day listening to a cd my brother's band made and hanging out in the den with golf on in the background so David could watch the US Open. We didn't leave there til after 8pm! But we all had a great time, and enjoyed spending the day with my family.
