Cecile and I were invited to a Father's Day backyard BBQ and pool party hosted by Chip and his girlfriend Julie at in Scotts Valley, California, located in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Once a stagecoach stop between San Jose and Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley’s deep history goes back more than 150 years.
Our daughter Michelle was there with our granddaughters Lyla and Emmy, and grandson, little Gus, who always keep us entertained. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. Everyone brought a side dish and the gourmet dessert table was to die for. All the dads and stepdads opened there presents. Special thanks to The Metrulas family for the lemon and strawberry print dresses they gave Lyla and Emmy who were elated.
Postscript: Father’s Day was first celebrated on June 19, 1910, in the state of Washington, and became a nationwide holiday in 1972

Dads
Step-Dads
