Friday night, we took the girls to get ice cream and then headed over to the Falling Water's Trail to look around and burn off some energy.
And, if you have ever seen Ruby eat an ice cream cone, you would not want her eating one in your vehicle, either. It was an absolute gorgeous night. The girls went down by the area where you can fish and found some snails.
(Poor Reyna was in Express Care this same night for an absess tooth. Her poor mouth. She is better now.)

I decided to take Bobo for a short walk, while Jade spotted fish for the girls on the bridge and that is when I heard Reyna start to cry. Like
really cry. I looked over and started running over there. I thought she was hurt the way she was crying. Turns out, her flip flop fell off her foot and into the water -hence the crying. Reyna takes pretty good care of her belongings so it didn't surprise me the amount of tears shed over her shoe. She kept asking Jade to get it, but there was no way he was going to be able to reach it...w/out a boat or something. He loaded us into the car and gave Reyna a speech about how we need to keep our feet away from the edge of the water. But, at the same time, I knew he had something in mind. I just wasn't sure what. We pulled in our driveway, Jade told us to stay in the car and the next thing I knew he had his waders in hand. Back to the water we went. I tell ya, what he will not do for his girls. It was so funny to see him in waders, the girls cheering him on, retreiving a flip flop out of the water.
The next night we took the girls down to the same spot to go fishing (w/out flip flop fiascos) and I asked Jade if he ever wondered what it was like to have boys or ever wished he had a son. I mean, he is surrounded by girls. Constantly. Poor guy, our dog is even a girl. The only other males in our house are the cats. :) He said it never even crosses his mind. The moment I asked him and he answered, he handed the fishing pole over to Ruby and she reeled in a blue gill. :)

What a good daddy :-))
awwww, I loved this post. If Jade were going to have all girls, he couldn't ask for a better bunch!
Poor Reyna. Her little face is so swollen & she can still smile in that pic. And losing a shoe to any woman (girl) can be tramatic. She has the best daddy in the world for looking for her shoe and best husband for saying the right words. Way to go Roobs catching the fish. Another little tomboy for Jade.
