Doing Dishes with Daddy

Today, I decided to do the dishes with Benjamin... Last week for Father's day, Jenny and I spoke at Church about Father's. While I was preparing, I read a talk in the Ensign written by E. Jeffrey Hill (I think he might be related... :) entitled "Doing Dishes with Daddy". While most of the article was about Sarah (my older sister), I was at least mentioned. I decided tonight to do the dishes with Ben... But he was so cute I had to take some pictures. While I was getting soaked in the Kitchen, I found Jenny relaxing on the couch. I guess that's fair, since she normally does all the work. We went to a ward dessert potluck after dinner, and had a great time. The boys found a water hole, and this is the result.
Finally, for Father's Day, Jenny had the boys fill out a questionnaire about me. Here are their responses... First Jeffrey, then Jonny, then Benjamin.
