Questions and Answers about Dad

Here are the kids answers for our traditional father's Day questions. I pulled them all in one at a time so they couldn't hear each other's answers. Then we read them together and had fun reading their answers from several years ago. We laughed and laughed. Katie said "I can't wait to reread these answers in a couple years." Unfortunately, we didn't have a father home to celebrate with. Chris will be back from his golf trip late tonight and we will celebrate tomorrow. Happy Father's Day Dad... from your kids. They know you pretty well!
