This is part of a progression pic series for Maple's second pregnancy. She'll be 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant here.
This Father's Day (June 18th, 2023), Hoppy and his son Marcus had themselves a nice father and son outing, courtesy of Maple as her Father's Day present to Hoppy. First, she brought the two out for a nice breakfast at their local IHOP restaurant. Then she brought them over to the park for a relaxing stroll, as well as to have a bit of ice cream for the two of them. After a quick potty break for Marcus at one of the park's bathrooms, the family went over to the water fountain, where Hoppy told his son he'll love him no matter what happens, even after his brother is born. Then Maple brought the two to McDonald's for lunch, where Hoppy got himself a Big Mac meal (cheeseburger style minus the onions) with medium fries and a medium Coca-Cola, his wife a 10-piece Chicken McNugget meal (no sauces) also with medium fries and a medium Coca-Cola, and his son a cheeseburger Happy Meal (no onions) with apple slices, kiddie-sized fries, and a regular milk, as well as a baby friendly toy to go with the Happy Meal, and they all enjoyed their meals very much. After their lunch, Maple brought the boys over to the beach, which was a 30 minute drive thankfully so that their stomachs could settle long enough, and then she put water tight plastic pants on them before they went wading in the water, as well as making sand castles and collecting sea shells, all while she watched them while sitting on a beach towel under an umbrella. As the sun began to set, Maple gathered the boys and brought them to Pizza Hut for dinner, where she ordered a large cheese pizza and cheesy breadsticks for them and herself, along with Pepsis for herself and Hoppy, and a chocolate milk for Marcus. And for dessert, a couple servings of cinnamon sticks, each with a thing of icing dip. Once dinner and dessert were finished, albeit with a few leftovers here and there, Maple took the family and the leftovers home with them, and just as they were settling in, Marcus said "Daddy" right at Hoppy. It caught the two parents off guard, but made them really proud nonetheless that he had said his first word. And as a result, Hoppy gave his son a big hug as Maple watched with a big smile on her face.
I apologize for this not being finished yet. I needed to get this out right away. But don't worry. It'll be properly finished ASAP.
for helping me complete this submission's description, and some additional thanks to two other IB pals of mine as well.
UPDATE 8/4/2023: Replaced Quick Doodle with Rough Sketch. UPDATE 10/4/2023: Replaced Rough Sketch with Fine Sketch; also redid Maple's arms because that was easier to do than how I originally planned it. UPDATE 12/11/2023: Fixed an error around Maple's feet. UPDATE 12/29/2023: Replaced Fine Sketch with Lineart; only coloring left for it now. UPDATE 1/31/2024: Fixed an error around Hoppy's right leg. UPDATE 2/1/2024: Replaced Lineart with Finished image. Again, I apologize for not finishing this in time for its target date. UPDATE 4/10/2024: Colored in the inside of Marcus' ear.
