It was a busy weekend. On Saturday I worked (woohoo!) during the day. Then I had a birthday party to go to, where Emmie got to play with a friend's nine-month-old son. That was adorable. She doesn't get to be around other babies too often, and she was fascinated by him. Then we celebrated an early Father's Day with my father.
The super special part was when we got home - Bruce's parents were out of town for a wedding, so we had the house to ourselves. But we were so exhausted that we went to bed fairly quickly.
The next morning was really nice. Just the three of us to start off Father's Day. I had that luxury on Mother's Day and I was glad that Bruce got to, too.
We got up and got ready for the big surprise adventure: we were going to 3 Floyds Brewpub in Munster, Indiana. Bruce loves their beer and it is ridiculously hard to find. Trying to get certain kinds around the Midwest is honestly like seeking the mythical white stag. The brewery's only a little over an hour away, so it was the ideal trip to take Bruce on. I had emailed the manager earlier in the week to make sure "cool" babies were welcome. He replied that they are, "Just so long as they're cool".
We got there before they opened, because I knew there'd be a line. And there was. Lots of families out for Father's Day. We got seated right away, however. It was awesome. The place is heavy metal, with skulls and stickers all over and local artwork on the walls, Inglourious Basterds playing on flat screens, and beer flowing freely. The food was fantastic; Bruce tried all kinds of brews, and Emmie was perfectly behaved.

The best part was, you can buy their beer by the case at the brewery. So Father's Day will keep on giving!
When we got home, Bruce's parents were back. We ended the day by celebrating with his dad as one big family.
