Our Father's Day Outing

Hi y'all!
Hope you had a great Father's Day with your Husbands/Dads/Grandfathers/Fathers-In-Laws etc! Will finally decided what he wanted to do for Father's Day and that was to go to Bobbin Head for some fishing & a picnic. I'd never been to Bobbin Head and as he said it was near Turramurra I thought it wasn't tooooo far from where we used to live in Brownville. But after we'd been driving for 40 mins I was like "Where IS this place?" and grabbed the UBD only to discover Bobbin Head is north of North Turramurra and is actually part of the Hawkesbury River! Whoa! It was a bit of a drive from our place after all, but it was a beautiful setting for a picnic so I can't complain!
We started the day with Maple Smoked Bacon (Thank You Costco.. YUM!) & Scrambled Eggs (Will's fave) followed by cuddle time & present opening. Jaimeson chose Will a super sweet Mug printed with 3 pics of the 2 of them together, he got Will's watch Battery fixed (so Daddy will always be home on time for playtime!) and got him some clip-on LED book lights (so Daddy doesn't have to give up reading a book at night when Jai's sleeping). What a good present-chooser Jai is! I was bummed cos I also did a photo book for Will especially for Father's Day, ordered it a week and a bit before and it's still not here now! Argh! {slapping forehead!} I should have finished it earlier... oh well. I hope it comes before DP!
How do you like Jai's bodysuit? It's only 000 and I've been holding out from packing it away so he could wear it on Father's day! It was sooooo small but he squished in it for the day. Such a cutie! {hearts rising from head}
So when we arrived at Bobbin Head it was packed with picnic-ers and fishermen. We squeezed our car in an illegal park (hehe) and grabbed a section of grass near the bank for Will to fish at. Jai and I played on the picnic rug and went for a walk while Willy did some fishing. I took Jai for a walk over to the Marina and saw there were heaps of people throwing bread into the water for the fish to eat. And there must have been HUNDREDS of Bream eating the bread! No wonder Will didn't get any bites! LOL! Poor Willy! Well, he says its about the experience, not about actually catching the fish! {patting Will's back cos he's so humble}! LOL!
All that picnic-ing wore my boys out cos when we got home in the afternoon they both went to bed and slept for hours!
And thankfully Willy is easy to please and I made him his fave dinner which was the super easy Spaghetti Bolognese! Yum!
So that was our Father's Day! Hope you had a great one too!

What a great Father's Day and all so simple (except for the drive). We 2 just has a quiet day at home. Can't even remember what meals I made.
They are gorgeous photos of your boys.
