Happy Father's Day

Technically this past Sunday was my second Father’s Day as an actual father (Owen was a microscopic 6 weeks in existence last year at this time), but really my first since Owen was born. He thanked me for helping give him life with a really cool beer stein that Mommy painted and glazed, and a half-gallon growler of Iron Hill Brewery’s Honey Double Witbier, a delicious Belgian Ale, my favorite. I decided to wait until after church to have a drink, so I settled for some OJ to go with the pancakes that Brynne made for me. Since it was such a beautiful day here, after church and after lunch we packed up and headed to Susquehannock State Park to do a little hiking.

Portions of the trail overlook the Susquehanna River near Mt. Johnson Island, the first bald eagle sanctuary in the world. Owen helped keep us on trail..........but then petered out about half-way through the hike.

We had to cut it short when he started wailing uncontrollably due to being hot and tired, without having spotted any bald eagles. After returning home, the celebration continued as I was "allowed" to have hot dogs for dinner and what goes better with hot dogs than a nice cold glass of Honey Double Witbier? We capped off my first real Father's Day with a photo shoot in the backyard.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, I hope your day was just as enjoyable.
