Father's Day, By Evie

Not very many people have a dad as awesome as mine, and no one loves my Dad as much as I do, so Mom said that I could write the blog about his first Father's Day.

Usually Dad is in charge of making breakfast on special occasions, but because it was HIS special occasion, my mom decided to get all adventurous and make pancakes. Unfortunately, she kept burning them, so Dad took over.


I got all dressed up for the occasion:

Dad wanted to go to the National Portrait Gallery and to Trafalgar Square so that we would have lots of pictures of me with London Landmarks. So we headed to the tube. At this point, Dad said he was the happiest Dad in the whole world. I have that effect on him.


I have this trick I like to play on my parents where I fall asleep as soon as we get to the place where they want to take my picture (or whatever the plan is). So I made sure to sleep through the National Portrait Gallery and all the other landmarks. Here we are in front of The National Portrait Gallery (I hear the National Portrait Gallery Awards were up and that they were pretty cool...some even looked like photographs, but were really paintings):

And here we are in Trafalgar Square in front of the fountains...

and in front of the lions


The real fun started outside of Buckingham Palace when I suddenly woke up!

I was thrilled beyond belief to be in the middle of London.

Fortunately, we found ourselves at the changing of the guard by accident, which distracted me from my distress. If it looks like we are in the middle of it...we are. My dad is the ultimate tourist.


Our next stop was Green Park, where my Dad gazed at trees and I gazed at something else more interesting. Then, since it was Father's Day, Mom let Dad change my diaper. Things were far too interesting just to lie there, so I made sure to turn over several times while Dad was changing me. It's always good to keep them on their toes.



No sunny day is complete without a ride on Dad's shoulders.

After my ride, I decided to chill with my homie/daddy...

but mom said I was too young for sunbathing and made us leave before the guy who charges 2GBP per stripey chair showed up.

It was a fun day! Happy Father's Day, Daddy!
