Father's Day
Today I told Richard that it was his day - we could do whatever he wanted to do. After a few hours of mulling his choices he decided he wanted to take the boys swimming. I told him this seemed to be an odd choice since he says he doesn't like to swim. He told me that he wanted to do something as a family because if it weren't for the kids he wouldn't be a father. Fair enough - I should have known Richard wouldn't pick something where he could relax or be by himself....it just isn't in his nature to think of himself first.
So, we went to Cave Spring, GA this afternoon. Cave Spring is a one stop light town in Floyd County, GA (same county as Rome). It is home of the Georgia School of the Deaf and Rolater Park - which has a spring fed lake and a really neat cave you can go in and explore. The spring fed lake is like a community swimming pool and we were joined by a hundred or so other people in the freezing water on this hot summer day.
Happy father's day to Richard and to my two fathers! I love all three of you!
