Happy Father's Day

Since we had the Annual Melser Family Campout this year on Father's Day weekend, we celebrated Chuck's Father's Day the weekend before.

We took him out Saturday evening to Outback Steakhouse where he enjoyed steak and lobster tails!


After dinner we took him goofy-golfing! I think we yelled "FORE!" a few times when the kiddos took their turns.


On Sunday we enjoyed giving Chuck some gifts... the flippers and snorkeling gear was a big surprise (and something he has wanted since he lost his last set at the lake). For anybody who has seen Mama Mia... can't you picture Chuck (with his personality) being one of the "flipper boys"? Maddy said that from the beginning when she saw that part in the movie.


And then our family campout on the real Father's Day weekend! We enjoyed cooler temps and even a trip to DQ in Payson (by way of Payson ER... look for another post!).


I'm grateful for Chuck and the great dad he is to his kids. I'm grateful that they have such a wonderful example for their lives and that they can always rely on him for anything they need. I'm grateful for the Priesthood he holds, honors and blesses our home with.

I'm also grateful for my dad and the example he has been to me in my life. He has always had a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is also the kindest man I have ever met. He is mindful of others and wants to help where he can.

And I am very grateful my sister has a great husband and my nieces and nephew have a great father and example in their lives! He is even pretty good bro-in-law...most of the time :)
