Father's Day Snowball Fight

Yesterday we had a ball celebrating Brandon and all the hard work he does for our family. We started the day by going out to breakfast. That's something we just never do, but I know he loves it. I researched the best places for breakfast in Utah and was directed to this cafe in Layton called Sill's Cafe, so that's where we went and they did not disappoint.

Here is the man of the hour. He cut his hair later that night, so he looks much more groomed now:


We tried hard to let him catch up on some rest the remainder of the morning, but I don't think he got much. After lunch we then hauled him off on a hike. I picked this easy, child-friendly hike around Silver Lake, up by Brighton. We got there only to find the lake was frozen and the path was covered in snow.


The kids (all three of them) started a snowball fight...


and then the girls had fun climbing on this 8 foot tall snowbank.


Then after dinner Chloe wanted to do sidewalk chalk, so we just hung outside together for a while...


Until this giant cotton storm flew in. The wind was blowing the cotton like crazy. The girls thought it would be fun to run out and dance in, but as you can see from the look on their faces (rubbing cotton out of their eyes) it wasn't that enjoyable.
