A day for Daddy

The girls have been hard at work planning lots of fun surprises for Father's day. They made him these paper ties that I found on this blog. Kara also wrote a paragraph about all the things she loves about him.



They gave him a new money clip, and the new Kirby game for 3DS. They were all able to play it together after dinner tonight, and seemed to have a lot of fun.

They wanted to take him to Swing Around Fun Town, where Kara went with her girl scout troop a few weeks ago. Kara wrote 3 clues about where we were going for Kiersten to read to him. Then he tried to guess where we were going. They have been pretty excited about this surprise.

We played 2 courses of mini golf. The second course was more enjoyable, since I took over for Evie. She didn't want to keep playing, so that course went much more quickly, and involved considerably less whining.

We rode the bumper boats, but didn't get any pictures. We were all soaking wet afterward. Ben and I were both still damp by the time we got home. After that, we took Evie and Kiersten on the go-karts. Kara didn't want to ride, so she took a few pictures.

I was surprised she got some decent shots. Kiersten was loving it, until a particularly aggressive lady bumped into us. Then she was just worried about the rules having been broken. But she got over it by the last couple laps.

Lastly, we went inside to play in the arcade. Kiersten was thrilled to hit a jackpot and get 1000 tickets.

Hopefully he had a fun time. We stopped at a store on the way home for him to get some new shorts, since he's been wearing shorts that are way too big after losing a little weight. The girls wanted to make him nachos for dinner, so that was a relatively easy dinner. After that, they had picked out some cookies for him at the store, so they gave him those, and of course enjoyed a few themselves.
