father's day

so father's day ended up being a little bit of a patchwork quilt.  my mom had gotten tickets to the thorn's game (portland's women's professional soccer team) for her and riley, and i had committed to marching in the gay pride parade in portland (my way of supporting marriage equality).

so todd celebrated father's day with the kids the day before by taking them down to the sandcastle building contest at the beach.  they had a great day and are all inspired to enter the contest next year.

the actual day of father's day found todd alone at home peacefully gardening...he thought it was actually quite lovely.

....this is lucy and i at the pride parade wearing our 'standing on the side of love' shirts.

we hung out downtown after the parade for awhile and had a little urban adventure.  lucy took these pictures of her time downtown.  it was quite an eye-opening day for my small town girl....

....riley had a great time at the game and they won! (unfortunately the only picture i have is on my phone and i can't figure out how to get it off)

.....happy father's day!
