We decided to celebrate Father's Day on Saturday this year. Ryan and I are trying hard to eat light and exercise 5-6 times a week but allow one day to eat "normal", usually on Saturdays and since Ryan's heart was set on sushi for his "splurge", we decided to bump all the Father's Day fun to this day. Bailey wanted to make breakfast for daddy so I helped her get started. She got a wonderful "Nancy Drew Cookbook" for her birthday from Uncle Nathan and Aunt Joe and has really enjoyed trying out the new recipes. For her and Collin it would be French Toast with Bananas and Maple Syrup and for Daddy and I she was making .....
It's a great cookbook for kids to learn to cook. Nearly each recipe is connected to one of the classic Nancy Drew books or one of the characters. Instructions are easy to follow and not too complex, perfect for my budding chef!
We sat down to enjoy the wonderful breakfast Bailey made (with a little help from Mom), and she was feeling very proud of herself. After breakfast Ryan opened his homemade cards and gifts from the kids. He was very excited to open a Blu-ray set of the original 6 Star Trek movies and an "official" vintage style tricorder; for you non trekkies out there, it's the gadget that Spock and Dr. McCoy would use to evaluate things. Ryan was a very happy sci-fi trekkie geek dad as we sat down to watch the 1st movie together. As we were watching Ryan realized that he'd gone to see the movie nearly 30 years ago to the month when it first came out. His sister Debbie took him to the movie, he would have been about 10 years old...not much younger than Bailey. It was funny that our kids were almost exactly the ages today that Ryan and I were when the movie first came out. After the movie we headed for our favorite spot for lunch; Sushi at Kabuki! We love everything at Kabuki, the chefs, the help and of course...the FOOD! We stuffed ourselves on edamame, miso soup, philly roll, jalapeno bombs, seared spicy albacore, and of course my favorite, the lobster roll! Bailey enjoyed the katsu chicken and Collin polished off a California roll. Yummy sushi goodness!
Being stuffed from lunch we headed home to lounge and play in the pool. We had the tile replaced almost a week ago and although we were very upset at having to do this so early in the life of our pool, we're very happy with the results.
It was a wonderful way to welcome in the first day of summer and celebrate what a wonderful dad Ryan is! Happy Father's Day!
