Daddy Daughter Dates....why they are so important






This past Saturday, Brendon and Olivia had some daddy-daughter adventures and a dinner date.

They started at Home Depot and made a craft.  Olivia is very blessed to have quite a handy dad.  He has taught her some amazing stuff about building already.



Then when they got home they had some quality camo time...

The BB gun...well he learned that she is not strong enough yet for the trigger.  Still makes me nervous though...

Looking for animals...




Then after a rest, I got her ready for their Daddy- Daughter date a Chic-fil-a.  They went last year and went again.  I admit shed a few tears watching them go.  Not out of sadness but because she is growing up.  In a month she is going to be 5! Crazy!!! I know the time will come when she will start doing everything herself and one day go on a real date (don't want to even think of that!!!).  I think it is really important for Olivia to do things with her daddy like this so she learns how a man should treat a lady.  They had such a fun time at dinner and then went to an arcade and played games.  She had so much fun!! The twinkle in her eye was priceless!





Geocache

Something we have picked up interest in while camping is geocaching.  So for Christmas Olivia wanted to make a geocache.  So we finally got it together (so we thought)...and went to place it.

Little did we know the place we put it had some extra rules that we had to follow.  So Brendon had to pick it up bring it back home, follow the rules...and wait to be approved....hopefully we can put it back out there.

We found a squirrel skeleton

A big rock

A turtle shell

We had a nice walk in the woods!
