today we spent the day in mt. orab for a very belated birthday get-together with dad/bar bar. the weather cooled off a bit, and it was very wet from the rain we've had, so we put on our hunter boots and headed east for a great day with dad and jennie. brooke and gavin love going exploring through bar bar and gigi's yard and garden. brooke likes to visit all of the special trees that bar bar and gigi have planted including her and gavin's very own trees. brooke also spent some time with gigi in the garden and got to plant some flower seeds. the kids did some crafts outside at the table while dad grilled lunch, and then we all gathered around the table for a delicious "clean" meal (for jennie, kevin and i) and a much less "clean" meal for dad, brooke and gavin :) after lunch the kids had a ball playing hide-n-seek with bar bar. gavin loved the thrill of being startled by bar bar, and he begged to do it again and again. bar bar was a great sport, and brooke and gavin loved every minute of it. i thought i was never going to get gavin calmed down enough to take a nap, but once he was in bed he fell right asleep :) we had a nice, relaxing afternoon watching golf and basketball, and then the kids got to sing "happy birthday" to bar bar and enjoy some yummy cupcakes. the day was the perfect way to celebrate my dad.
