Daddy day

This year was the first year I head a real Father's Day. Last year I was technically a father, but Lindsay was basically just a noisy little lump. She couldn't talk, play, or laugh. This year I felt much more like a real dad, and we did some great real dad things. Becca got me some grilling utensils, which I have wanted ever since I got my grill. I got a grilling spatula, tongs, fork, and grill scrubber. Of course, we had to try them out, so we had shish kebabs for dinner. Marinated beef, fresh zucchini, new potatoes, chunk pinapple, and marinated artichoke hearts--delicious!

Speaking of grilling, here's a picture of the grill I got last month. It was the last thing I ordered with my points from Westlaw. It's the perfect size for a small family like ours. I can't really leave a grill outside, so I can just take this one inside when I'm done grilling. It's also portable, so we're planning on taking advantage of that later on. Little charcoal grills are really cheap, but it's so handy to have a gas grill. I know charcoal makes it taste better, but it's hard to be the convenience of a gas grill. Instant, even heat, with very little mess to clean up. Now that I have all the equipment for grilling, we'll definitely be doing it more often. It was a good Father's Day for me.
