Fathers Day Weekend 2014

On Fathers Day weekend Eric and Hayden traveled to Connecticut for a Memorial Service for Eric's Grandad.  He had passed in early March but they waited to do services so family could arrange to be there.  Eric picked Hayden up after work on Friday and they started the 6 hour drive to Connecticut.  Hayden slept for a couple hours but Eric said he woke up around 10:00 and chatted and told stories the rest of the way.  They met up with Nana & Papu, Uncle Sean, and Uncle George at a cabin in the Berkshires a little after midnight.  The next day they had breakfast out before the Memorial Service and Reception at the VFW.  Hayden did great throughout the day and Eric was very proud of him.  He got so many compliments on how well behaved he was and everyone enjoyed having him around.  The family hung out at Eric's Aunt Dee's house that night and Eric and Hayden spent the night there the second night.  They got up at 4:30am the next morning to get on the road to come home.  Hayden had his last tee-ball game and pictures at 10:30 and they made it back just in time.  We went to a friends place for a Fathers Day cookout that afternoon.  I am so grateful for Eric and how great a daddy he is to both of our boys!  Here are some pics from the weekend.....
