dad's day treats

J is tough when it comes to gifts/treats, so the best strategy is letting him pick out his own big present.  In this case, it was a twelve string acoustic guitar. Isn't it cute?

But the kids still had some treats for him too...Aiden wrote a cinquan at school and made a paper Gtown bulldog card. The Italian teacher had them create shoe cards.  Keaton made a cute card as secretively as possible - "nothing to see here in the kitchen dad!"  He also helped dad pick out a blue vinyl Who album.

But possibly the thing the boys were most excited about was the Battle Cards game board they created.  This is a game Aiden and J created that is sorta like checkers meets Dungeon and Dragons.  

Aiden even created a custom deck of cards with his own logo.

I'm missing a photo of the air fryer I bought him as sorta a joke (small appliances are not his idea of a gift) but I knew he would like it.  So far a batch of chicken wings was a hit!

The best part of the day was a BBQ with his music buddies where they jammed. It's not quite a weekend getaway to a wool festival, but he seemed happy. ;)
