Father's Day

Yup, we got a jump start on Father's day because, let's face it, My baby has a pretty fantastic father. It all started with a simple idea. Charlie got a new cute summer outfit that said "Daddy's little hero" with a fire fighter helmet on it. So I dressed Charlie up in it and got the great idea of taking him to a fire station to do a photo shoot on some fire engines and then give the pictures to Max as a Father's day gift. Great idea right...I was pretty proud of it. But I really wasn't sure how I was going to get access to a fire truck. I don't think I could be bold enough to walk into a fire station and ask if my son could sit on the truck while I take some pictures. So i did some research to find out if the fire department would be at any events in the near future. And LOW AND BEHOLD they had a huge city safety festival that very coming weekend. I planned on taking Charlie to the festival while Max was working. I kept this idea a secret from Max for about a whole twenty minutes. I realized it would be really hard to take pictures of Charlie by myself and it would more fun to go to the festival as a family anyway. Plus, I wouldn't have had a car that day. The point is, I'm really bad at secrets. So the moral of the story is this, Max knows these pictures exist so I can now share them on our blog. I plan to attempt some editing before I print and frame them. I guess that will be the surprise!  

I think it worked out best this way. Max was able to be in some pictures with our baby boy and we had a lot of fun at the festival.
