Annika and her daddy on their first Father's Day.
We are so thankful to have Kyle back with us full-time now and it's fun for me to see Annika and him playing together. They have such a great time and take joy in each other. Our plans for the day turned out differently than we had thought they would but we still had a great time. After church we went to our favorite bakery, Larson's, in Ballard. We adore this little place and often go there after church. Then we went to one of the Pastor's houses for a Beer and Brats gathering, which we were invited to just that morning. Having had other plans fall through, we thought beer and brats would be a great way to celebrate fatherhood :) It was a fun gathering and we were happy to be there.
Late that night our good friend, Brooke, flew in from Anchorage. We always love having Brooke visit and it was especially fun because she had never met Annika before. Brooke and I were roommates in Anchorage for a few years before I moved down to the Seattle area. We see each other once or twice a year but it's great every time! The downside of this particular visit is that I still had to go to work, darn snow days that we had to make up. Brooke, Kyle, and Annika got to hang out while I finished out a stressful end of a school year. Luckily, it was great weather and we got to get outside together when I got home from work. The best evening was on the soltice. What better way to celebrate the longest day of the year than grilling down on the waterfront?
Kyle's brother Joel drove down from Bellevue to join us.
It was the perfect evening to be by the water.
