So, last week while I was doing New Teacher Orientation, Breanne approached Lauren and said she wanted a daddy/daughter day before I went back to school. Like any sensitive father, I wiped away a tear and, of course, agreed to spend a wonderful day with her. The only problem was we were booked pretty solid for the next couple of days. So instead of one special days, we did several chunks of days. We began the 1st of many chunks by going to see "The Smurfs" Saturday morning. It was a decent movie, but it was even more fun just watching Breanne react to seeing the Smurfs on the big screen. Sunday, we were suppose to go to a lobster feast, but it was canceled due to rain (and quite frankly, I had just played my first soccer game in a decade and played 88 out of 90 minutes). Instead we went and had ice cream. Breanne had crazy vanilla and I had my usual cooked brownie topped with chocolate peanut butter ice cream with some extra peanut butter on top. Hey, you don't keep a figure like mine by having frozen yogurt. Our final segment happened yesterday. I was able to get off work early because, of all things, we had an earthquake (5.9). We went out disc golfing on a beautiful afternoon.

As you can see, Breanne is starting to get pretty good at throwing too. Breanne actually played the first 3 holes by throwing, picking up, and throwing from where I landed. During the round, I had one of my best throws of all time. As seen in the picture below, I was more than 30 yards away from the basket when I threw and put it in. The picture below shows my view from where I threw the disc from.
Sorry the photo is so big, but it is hard to see the basket otherwise. Anyhow, it is great that one of the first things Breanne asks to do with me is play disc golf. We did our usual playground time to break up the round and then finished it out. Following disc golf we hit up Chick-fila' one of Breanne's favorites and low and behold, it was kid night and a clown/magician was there. We ended our night watching a guy juggle, make napkins come back together, and play a guitar while standing on a ball that was 3' in diameter.
As a father, there really is nothing better than having your child want to spend time with you. The fact that she is so into playing disc golf is a bonus, but I would do anything. Thank you Breanne for our wonderful day!
