Happy Father's Day

I know that I have posted this picture several times before, but I love it, it is my favorite picture of Aaron and the kidlets.

And...since it is Father's day, I wanted to give a shout out to my dad and share my favorite story. It is funny that this is one of my favorite, because there are so many, but this one has always stuck out in my mind. And, I would post a picture, but remember what I said about me being really unorganized with pictures? So, I will just link you to this family photo.

So anyway, I was about 6 or 7 and we were on our annual family vacation, I can't remember where - I am sure my brother Jordan remembers - probably southern Utah somewhere. I was at that age when collecting rocks was the most awesome thing to do and I had a square hot chocolate can full of them. I was wandering around while we were hiking trying to find the coolest rocks, and I did find some cool ones. At the end of the day I had a bunch that I was VERY proud of...especially one, it was little and PERFECTLY round. I went up to my dad and said, "Dad, look at this perfectly round rock!" He looked at me, smiled and said, "That ain't no rock! That's rabbit shit!" Needless to say I dropped that rock so fast and started freaking out and also needless to say, I didn't hear the end of it from my four brothers. I HAD HELD RABBIT SHIT! Proudly.
