Father's Day Weekend

...it's not Father's Day, you say...well, it was for this Craig Family.  You see, I will be on a girl's weekend for Sam's first Father's Day (wife of the year, I know), so we decided to celebrate this weekend.  I played a sweet little joke on Sam where I wrapped up a box with nothing in it.  His face was priceless and I was laughing uncontrollably.  Have no fear, I quickly ran to get Sam's real gift...his very own brew kit.  The mister was very happy.  I'll be taking my award now.  :)
After that, we spent a little time hanging out around the pool.  Pool time is so fun for our family, or well anything involving water.  Sam and I both (although I do not tan) love swimming and we were thrilled to find that Mallory loves the water too, although, sorry Mal Pal, you a just as white as your mommy.  Anyways, we followed that up with a quick trip to Target and then an evening of grilling venison steaks, avocados, and onions.  Mmmmm  :)
Then yesterday, we went to church, and lounged around. I even watched the U.S. Women's Gymnastics championships, good stuff.  I love gymnastics and can't wait to watch the Olympic Trials and see who represents the good ol' U.S. of A in London.  Yay.
Anyways, back to the church part.  I found that a very interesting question was posed in Sunday School.  More or less, it asked why the tree was even placed in the garden of Eden.  Or in other words, why even place the temptation of sin in front of a society that was so blissfully happy and unaware of sin in the first place? Hmmm.  Good question.
The  mister and I have different but similar theories on this.  In fact, we are still discussing.  I'd be interested to know what exactly you all thought.  I do not have the answer yet, and perhaps my answer will evolve and change over time.  Right now I am thinking that it has something to do with a reminder of something to strive towards (or run far far away from).
More on this later.  I've got a dentist appointment to attend.
