... from the title you might thing not a great day... but was actualy one of the very best ever! 
SSB was sent out to move some more things to the house from the apartment while the kiddos prepped my Father's Day meal... when I was back, they were still working on, so took two of the kiddos out to walk Mikey (Jennifer's lab) .... we get way down the side walk of the new street (very quiet, lovely neighborhood)... SSB waves to a couple of his new neighbors who are coming out of their garage... then Mikey poops right there on the sidewalk at the end of their driveway!! And, er, um... not just easy to remove kind either....! So, as the neighbors watch, SSB is down on hands and knees with cut grass trying to wipe it all up, and put into a bag... blech! Haha! I am sure they were givin' us the eye.
The night before went frog hunting in same area, and kids caught 15! big old toads and we had them in a large bucket. They sounded like frog popcorn as they were all popping up and down.... really a wild sound. We did release all at the end of the night... ok... back to the story....
Get back to the house and wash my hands about 150 times... then get ready for the brunch spread. As everything not moved from apartment yet, they had to improvise and open some things with knives and such... but they were able to work it out. My menu:
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Chocolate Covered Pineapple Chunks
Chocolate Covered Nutter Butter Cookies
Chocolate Milk
Corned Beef Hash
Boiled Eggs
Pancakes
It was quite the spread.... As about to eat youngest (DS,5) ran to get something off of island... and SSB sees his beloved Olympus digital camera move slow motion to the edge .... and as I cried out.... it made the dive off of the counter toward the nice tile floor like one of those cliff divers in Mexico.... down, down, down.... and then SMASH, BOUNCE, SMASH.... eek!!!!!!!!! Still not sure of all of the damage... but seems to work .... kinda'.... still..... at times...
Get to open gifts... and SSB has way coolio cards.... a big back of Reese's penut butter cups, a Harry Potter X-Box game, and the whole first season of "Spongebob Squarepants" on DVD...
After having the feast and gifts .... SSB's brother arrives with his two kiddos from SC... and we all head to the Orlando Science Center to see the IMAX film on the Sea with music by Sting and narrated by Meryl Streep... Get over there about an hour later... and have great time at film....
We then go fly some planes on one floor... then to another floor for some laser stuff.... then to another.... and as we are looking at this live camera of an Osprey nest close by.... Jennifer asks me where DS #2 is???..... oops. So then.... SSB goes RUNNING back to other floor upstairs ... and he is there just hanging out... and he said.... "Wondered how long it would take for you to notice that I was missing..." ... haha!!
More things.. then off for late after noon lunch/early dinner.... We go to the cafeteria there, and cool as Dad's eat free... so they gave me a few items on the tray... and my Diet Coke. We all sit down and DS #2 eats two big slices of pizza.... some extra fries and chicken from other plate.... a big bottle of chocolate milk... etc.... then looks at me with those eyes from the cat of "Shrek 2", and says... "Dad, I am gonna' be way sick".... haha! So.... SSB tears across the cafeteria with him to the bathroom.... and get there just in the nick of time. He makes a complete recovery post - dealee... and we are back on the road again.
Back to house for more adventures... building things.... frog catching... and then finally end the day.
Not without a drama here and there... but the kids even said that it was the very best Father's day ever... and SSB would have to agree!
