father's day!

don't worry! if you just read the title and thought, "oh shoot, i missed father's day!" you're wrong!  you didn't miss it!!  yesterday we had to celebrate father's day a week early because we won't be with our dad next weekend... sad :(  but it was a great fake father's day! 


i started the day off by pouncing on my dad and waking up yelling, "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD!!"  all i got back was a lousy, "this is weird" (referring to yesterday not really being father's day).  we headed to church and then my dad and i went on our big outings to cvs and joannes fabrics.  i know, such grand places to go.  we had a 20% off total purchase coupon at cvs that saved some $$$ and i needed some fabric from joannes for a project i'm working on (warning: never stand behind someone who has never been to a fabric store before...it takes foreverrrr)!


then we headed to Harborfest in Norfolk to hear Phil Vassar in concert. despite the 182 degree weather, it was a great concert and he was such a good entertainer!  my dad and him went to JMU together and performed in a group called Madisonians and when they would tour the 2 of them would be roommates.  when i was younger i would always tell people my dad and phil slept together.  then people would gave me strange looks and i had to explain what i meant by that!  
Mr. Bo, Kels, and Lauren at the concert!
Morgan and Erin!



When we took this picture Phil said, "Gosh, I have such a hard job." Not kidding.



after changing out of our nasty and very wet, sweaty clothes we went to p.f. changs for our fake father's day dinner.  p.f. changs is delicioussss!  we all shared our yummy entrees and splurged on our mini desserts! 


We are obsessed with lettuce wraps!


Red Velvet on the left and Chocolate Mousse on the right!
we ended the night with cards and presents which included a new beach umbrella (dad really wanted one for some reason?), Azar's gift card, and new clothes!  i hope next week you all have a great day honoring your dads!  i know i'm blessed to have such an awesome dad.  happy fake father's day, dad! as my card said, "I will always be your cute little girl...especially the 'cute' part!"  





love you dad!

  1. Perrin, truly one of my most favorite posts from you yet. Loved the whole day celebrating with Phil, Mom, Morgan and you. You made me feel very special. Thanks for such a wonderful "fake" Father's Day.

    I love you Erin with a P and a double R
