This Father's Day we were traveling back from our vacation so we didn't do anything special for Scott. I told him we would celebrate next weekend, 'cause I am lame. In any case, Scott is a great Dad and deserves to have a nice Father's Day, so hopefully we can make up for it next weekend. Here are some questions I've asked the kids for a few years now about Scott. Grant is not yet up to giving answers beyond "baba" or "SQUEAL!!" So we'll try with him next year. I asked the kids these questions separately but they still gave similar answers for some things. :) Here are the kids answers from 2010, 2011. Happy Father's Day Scott! We love you!!
