Now I know that I'm a day late, but I wanted to do a special Father's Day post for my "Papa Smurf". As I continue to grow older and older, I realize more and more how similar I am to my Dad and how our personalities are near identical. I think most of my brothers would agree that I am the most alike our Father. Now some people, including my Dad, would probably warn me about these similarities, and how dangerous they could potentially be. But I don't think there is anyone that I'd want to be more like. When I think of my Dad, I think of the most caring, selfless, hilariously funny and optimistic man in the world. A man that views beauty in everything around him, even if it's impossible for any other human eye to see. I think anyone that knows Dad would agree that he might be the happiest man in the world. Some of my favorite memories of Dad include hiking in the mountains numerous times, finding our river of green moss, and snorkling Salt Pond Bay on St. John SO SLOWLY as to not miss a single detail. I think some of my favorite memories of Papa Smurf have been when he constantly shows us that he can "hang with the boys," waterskiing, body surfing, or any other crazy game or sport we boys put him up to, as he's ALWAYS up for the challenge. So, recently I've had the oppurtunity to sneak in a few pictures of the most supportive and amazing father ever and I wanted to share them with you all. Here's to the most amazing workout buddy, friend, partner in crime, and crazy Dad ever! Love you "Pops"...
What a handsome devil he is!
