For Father's Day this year, we had decided we were going to go to this drive through safari park in VA and go to this state park I have been wanting to go to that is 2.5 hours away from where we live. We have been wanting to do these things for months, but because of COVID, restrooms were closed, etc. so we had decided to wait. Well, it was definitely worth the wait! We got there early, spent several hours at the safari park then we went and spent another hour and a half at the state park and went out to eat. Only disappointing thing of the whole trip was walking 1.2 miles to see this waterfall that was nothing special at all, but other than that it was a perfect day! The night before, SD and I had given bf his Father's Day gift, which I had decided to more celebrate him being a fur dad to our dog and cat than SD's dad. What I mean by this is, SD made a card in school for bf saying Happy Father's Day, so I was like okay cool, I don't have to help her make a card like I was planning. Then, my bf isn't huge on Father's Day especially this year for two reasons. 1. he feels like he is a "part time dad" because he only gets summers, every other Christmas, and Spring Break from here on out, 2. because of the loss of rights to the child he thought was his, but is not... So I decided to get him a Father's Day card from the cat and one from the dog, then I got him this picture frame that has paw prints on it and says "One of the family" and has a photo of the cat and dog. Then I paid for our lunch out on the day so it was celebrating him on Father's Day without making a big deal about it, but still doing something.

Then the only update I have is BM has not called or asked to call SD in a week and a half. Just like bf predicted looks like it is going to die off, BM just was doing it the first two weeks to look good, but after that, it will be infrequent that she even remembers. Since bf and I are going to visit bf's dad at the end of August, which is where BM was supposed to be moving to, bf messaged BM to ask if she will be in VA for September 1 drop off or if she will be moved to the other state, because we have to put our days in to request off at work this week. BM responded that surprise surprise she will be in VA on September 1. Then you would think BM would realize she never called her kid and ask to call SD or something. NOPE, she did not. So further making us happy we did not give a set date and time for her to call every week because clearly she is not interested in calling her kid. So yeah that is all I got. Nothing really bad or to vent about just sharing :)
