this was Joe’s request for Father’s Day when the boys and I brainstormed some possible adventures after he was woken up with cards
and presents
Paul even wrote clues so he could guess what it was
and breakfast. We loaded up for a mini road trip to Caspers Wilderness Park in San Juan Capsitrano

on the look out for mountain lions (relieved we didn’t see any)with a morning nap for baby

and an expression of pure contentment on Joe’s face.

I wish his dad and our Ji’chan were around to see this man with his three kids. He’s amazing! Happy Father’s Day!
We’re home nowand ready for more summer vacation.
