Dad's day

We spent Father's Day weekend in our traditional fashion...enjoying one of the local resorts with our dear friends. The guys get in some golf on Saturday morning and we all enjoy the resort's wave pool, lazy river and water slides. The 'cooler' than normal temperatures and slightly smaller crowd made for an especially wonderful time this year.

This was our seventh year out there. The three of us first went when Em was a year old. We've enjoyed the last six years with the "J-Team". Our memories of each year are often triggered by each child's swimming abilities and whether or not they're tall enough for the water slides (the youngest of the brood, our Megan, has about another four inches to go). It's a treasured tradition that both families look forward to every year.

Note: Which one doesn't belong?? For those of you counting the kids and wondering where the sixth came from...she's a darling friend of the oldest and has been a part of our time-honored tradition for two years now.
