Dates with Daddy

The girls get out on a date with Leevi (usually on the weekends when Luke naps and I can have some alone time!) pretty often, whether it's something out somewhere or just around the neighborhood. Or during the week, they will talk Leevi into some project to do on the weekend.  Too fun!!!
Driving range and they did putt-putt this same day!


This video just cracks me up.  They have fun though!  I pretended to enjoy golf as a kid to be able to tag along with my grandfather, but it wasn't until maybe 6 years ago that I started playing!  Soooo looking forward to Leevi and I playing into retirement!  We'll see if the kids are into it as they get older! 
 
We have lots of shallow woods around post that the girls like to explore in.  We've hiked through probably half of the woods and they love to look for bugs and new hiking sticks.  We came across a little fort on one of our adventures and that gave them the idea to build one of their own.  It was spring cleaning and everyone drug their hedge clippings up into the woods, so Leevi was able to use that as sides and leaned them onto a support he made at the top of 3 trees.  The girls LOVED it and I was equally impressed!  :)  It is in the woods by the park at the end of our street and a dad playing there one day with his kids asked if my husband was the one who drove the big truck on our street.  When I replied, "yes", he said he thought so.  I guess owning an awesome truck equates to awesome fort building skills!  :)  
UNFORTUNATELY, while we were camping over the 4th of July, some kids destroyed the fort!  I was shocked!  It wasn't in our yard, but I never imagined someone would want to destroy such an awesome fort!  We had pictured many future families playing in it long after we left.  Two little friends that the girls play with at the park said that they tried to stop the boys, but they didn't listen.
The girls got to pick individual dates with Daddy and Hailey picked bowling.  She and Leevi rode scooters/bikes there and bowled and had dessert!
 Kai picked dinner and a movie!! They saw Epic in 3D
One weekend they talked Leevi into building them each a birdhouse.  We got on Pintrest that morning to get some design ideas and Leevi went to work.  They each spray painted theirs and the following day, painted a design.  They turned out great!!!
Hailey's masterpiece!
Kai's creation!
