Happy Birthday Papa!

                                                                 Don had an early start on his birthday! The girls greeting him with their handmade presents bright and early.

 It was hard enough to hold back their gifts for the days prior to his birthday. So when Friday hit, they were up at the crack of dawn!

After breakfast, the girls and I took Don out to Fairfield for miniature golf; a surprise outing all of the girl's making. They know their father loves to golf. What they didn't know was that miniature golf and 'real' golfing are two very different things. But Don is always a good sport and loved all that his daughter's planned for him.

 Miniature golf turned out to be a lot of fun. We didn't often get the ball in the hole but we got alot of laughs at the girls maneuvers and attempts.

 Amara got a bit frustrated so I tried to give her a few lessons. While Havana came up with a new golf swing called the Booty Swing!

 After golfing became "too boring", we headed over the race track and water bumper cars to spice things up. We ended the morning in the too loud, overstimulating arcade before we all came home and took a nice long nap in preparation for an evening with some friends for dinner and cake.

I was pretty sure Don might have wanted to do other things for his birthday so over the course of the weekend, the girls and I made sure to give him time for himself. But we were so happy to have a family day celebrating the most important man in our lives.
