Then took the boys to Grandpa's and let them tell him all that he missed, and he explained the differences between the Mustang and the Spitfire to them.
Then we got caught in the rainstorm last night.
Another fun father's day for the memory bank.

That's awesome - and very moving for me, thanks for sharing this.
I spent the day with my kids, my wife and my mom ... and we talked about my dad (the grandpa they never knew because he passed before they were born) and a lot of time was spent talking about his WWII time spent flying the Halifax and the impact that experience had on him, and subsequently me and my brothers and sisters.
We planted a tree in his honour in the back yard and then ate ice cream while we watched the storm from the porch - a great day ... hope all dad's out there had a good one.
Cheers.
