Greg had planned to take a day off during Spring Break, so we could take the kids to Birmingham for a fun activity. Well, since we went to Airwalk with friends, and didn't feel like traveling again, the idea for "Daddy Day" on Wednesday was born.
The kids were super excited to have Daddy all to themselves for a whole day, and I was excited to run errands and go to the gym kid-free! :) We decided to brainstorm ideas on Tuesday and this is what we came up with:
Daddy narrowed down their options and circled the winners in red :) Looks like they were going to be busy!!
First up, bowling!!! (Actually, the bowling alley opened at 11 instead of 10 like we thought, so they passed the time at a local playground for a little bit.) This was Greg's first time bowling with the kids, and apparently everyone did a great job & even got some spares.

Greg had originally planned to have a picnic lunch on the quad, but it was a bit windy/chilly so Plan B was a picnic in his office! Econ lunch date!!
Then they headed to the quad once the sun came out and flew Nate's remote-control helicopter, played tag, and explored the library :) Look how tiny they look!!
Despite a full day, Daddy decided it's always a good time for a donut! :) So, off to Krispy Kreme for one last stop. Easter sprinkles!
As to be expected, Abby came home and crashed after all the activities. She took a great nap and then the 3 of them went on a bike ride around the neighborhood later that afternoon.
This is going to sound awful, but I left them at 5:30 to go see a movie with a friend, so Greg had the kids all night as well too. They rented "Turbo" and enjoyed their movie night with Daddy. What a day!!
I am thankful I have a husband who not only agrees to a "Daddy Day," but also LOVES it as much at the kids do! Thank you for the break, Greg! :)
What a good father and husband!
