Well. He's Just Fabulous

On Mother's Day every year, I tend to request a family hike.  It's become a tradition, and this year was no different. 

While we were hiking this year, we ventured a bit off the trail to check out the Jack O'Lantern Branch creek.  I look over and see Paul doing this:

At first, I thought maybe he was trying to spear a fish with his hiking pole.  Isn't that just the sort of random thing a guy would do?

But no.  He was fishing out a pair of pink sunglasses.  Well.  Isn't he just fabulous? 

You wouldn't believe the fights the boys had over those pink sunglasses during the rest of the hike.  Everybody wanted pink sunglasses!  Readers, do you have any pink sunglasses in your life?

  7. This is so my dh! Everytime he goes for a bike ride or walk, he comes home with these random objects in his pockets. Sunglasses, tools, tie down straps. I just shake my head at him.

  16. No, no pink sunglasses here. But maybe I could use some! Your husband has some good eyes to pick them out of the creek. And a Mother's Day hike is a great tradition.

  17. Haha! Let's see . . . Livie has had pink ones, and currently has some purple ones and some glittery ones.

    Me? Just my prescription glasses with the Transition lenses that turn dark in sunlight.

  21. Where are they? Let's see them! And you cannot mention a creek with a name like that without telling us the story on it! Most men do not notice details like that, I think it must have been a fun challenge maybe.

  22. Nope, but Paul is stylin'. :)

  24. Kids love the craziest things --especially when there's only ONE THING --and 3 boys!!!!!! (Been there--done that..)

    No Pink Sunglasses in my life I don't think... SO--guess you (the boys) are the lucky ones!!!!

    Sounds like you had a great Mother's Day hike.
    Hugs,
    Betsy
    P.S. Your hubby is a KEEPER.
