Father's Day

I had a WONDERFUL Father's Day!  I asked my dad last week what he wanted and as usual, he ho hummed a bit and said, "I just want to see you."  Easiest gift in the world!!  So I send him a text the next day and asked if he'd like to go to lunch and see a movie.  I told him there was a showing at 1:10pm.  He then asks me, "is there an earlier one?"  I told him the only other one was at 10am...he says, "great, then lets see that one.  Pick me up at 8:30 and we'll have breakfast instead of lunch."


So there we are...the only ones in the theatre...because it was 9:45am...on a Sunday.  All of this was to avoid crowds.  He's been this way since I was little so I can't really say that I'm surprised.  It would take an emergency of some kind to get my dad to leave his house on a Friday or Saturday night.  But really, having the theatre all to ourselves was nice.  I've never been to a movie quite that early, but it was fun!  He picked Battleship and I HIGHLY recommend it!  This movie had a cute story line for the girls and sci-fi for the guys.  I wanted to see it as soon as I saw the previews (I LOVE sci-fi), but I was very surprised at just how good the movie actually was.  After the movie, we dropped him back off at home and said our goodbyes.  He knew we had Steph's dad to tend to next and wanted us to wish him a happy father's day (so glad my in-laws like each other!)  I wouldn't have traded these couple hours with my dad for anything.  I hope everyone enjoyed their dads yesterday!
