Father's Day

On Father's Day, Dad got three new ties. Preston is really good at tying ties and he even knows how to tie the double windsor. On father's day, I had him give dad a double windsor lesson...

I love this picture above. Classic dad-concentrating-look.

Let's just say that dad is going to need a little bit more practice...

After the tie-tying lesson we decided to go American Fork canyon and go for a hike. It was such a beautiful day.
