Ryan's First Father's Day

We did it up BIG for Ryan's first official Father's Day. As a theme person, I decided to go with "ties & travel" for this year. Partly because he has been obsessing over this Tumi luggage that he needs when he goes on business trips and partly because I found some cute tie racks on Pinterest.


Saturday night we let Ryan open his gifts because he was packing for a European work trip that he was heading to Sunday evening. Adelaide was trying desperately to pack herself in his new toy.

Sunday, in keeping with the travel theme, I made French toast for breakfast accompanied by fresh fruit. We attended the 10am mass at our church where I was the lector/reader making Adelaide & her daddy front and center. Then we grabbed coffee at Moonbeam...Ryan's favorite.

After a mid-morning snack, we scooped our friends Liz & Winston from the train station and made our way to Muscoot Farms. They have a farmer's market & petting zoo on Sundays. It is an adorable place with a cluster of barns and animals to boot. We saw chickens, turkeys, lambs, goats, donkeys, & horses. Adelaide couldn't get enough of these new creatures. She had a stand-off with the baby goat. We, adults, sampled honey, fruit, jam, & gluten-free desserts from the various vendors. Delicious!

Working up an appetite, we lunched on sushi at Neo Bistro & Sushi Bar. With amazing roll names such as light of the world, kindness, and self control, we filled our tummies with yummies.

We finished the day by sending Ryan/daddy off to Europe with loves of hugs & kisses. We hope you had a fun-filled Father's Day as well!
