"Does anyone want to come for Father's Day?" asked Kathy.
Yes, apparently a few of us wanted to come for Father's Day. Which also happened to be in the middle of the World Cup. All week Sarah had been making a play to be Dad's favorite, watching games even when no one was checking. The rest of us stepped up, trying (unsuccessfully) to keep up with Sarah. What followed was a pretty fun weekend of watching soccer and hanging out in Petaluma.
We went to see half of Sheep Detectives while we waited for Rachel's plane to arrive. Even though we had to leave early, Beth solved the mystery correctly, so that was OK.
Kathy made reservations for Spanish food and flamenco dancing. When she tried to tell them it was for Father's day, the woman said "i"ll just write down 'birthday'". Then at dinner, the whole restaurant sang Happy Birthday to us.
Beth finally got to go to the metal shop
For her birthday, Carrie got to go meet Buddie, stylist to the stars, or at least to the middle-aged fashionistas of Sonoma County. He looked her up and down, said "I think you'll like these pants. In a medium." And he was right.
Dad told us he was trying to give up making as many dad jokes. Partly because Carrie had called him out on it, and partly because security pulled him out of his seat at the symphony for an extra check because he made weird jokes when he went through screening. Serves him right.
