Father's Day 08' - "Mommy why does it look like a spider?"

Sticking to our annual tradition we headed up to Sleepy Hollow Lake for some good father's day love with the entire Baccaray clan sans Uncle Rodney who couldn't make it home this year. Lolo was very happy and appreciative that we were all able to get together. The food was amazing as Lola, Tito Ton Ton & Tita Marianne prepared everything from a traditional filipino breakfast (longanesa, garlic rice, eggs etc), to lunch and dinner filled with marianted steaks, filipino barbequa and lobsters. While Ron was cutting into one of his lobsters Hailey was curious as to what Dad was eating. She turned to me and said "mommy, why does it look like a spider?" to which Ron and I laughed. We asked her if she wanted to taste it but she regretfully declined. "Maybe when i'm bigger" was her answer.

Hailey did however enjoy her very first fishing experience with Lolo. She caught 5 fish and was so excited to show them off and tell everyone. Joey and Nathaniel had a great time too. Joey has no fear when it comes to most things. He had a great time jumping in and out of the baby pool that we had set up for the kids. He would have even jumped right into the lake if Ron wasn't there to catch him. Joey was hysterically laughing watching Uncle Bob jump off the dock into the lake. Unfortunately, Nathaniel didn't like this as much as every time his Dad would jump into the lake he would start to cry.

We returned home Sunday morning to rest for a little bit and then headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's for Father's Day dinner with everyone including Nonna, Aunt Trudy, Uncle David and the Mammina clan. It was a great weekend for everyone especially the Dad's. Happy Father's Day!!!

Good thing I wasn't there because when it comes to lobster, I don't share anyway ;)

I'm glad someone is showing updated pictures of Nate because some parents are slacking worse than me on updating their blog (wink, wink.) The boys have changed so much already.
