It was a good Daddy/Daughter day

[skydivr]

For you guys that have Daughters, You'll know what I mean....

Saturday was a good Daddy/Daughter day. My wife was working, so my 11 year old and I had the day to ourselves. We had breakfast together; talked about school and summer vacation; she just chatted away in her little sing-song voice. She was in a good mood - "yes sir" and "no sir"...helped me clean the kitchen without any attitude.

Got in the car and drove up to a friends house who is making a harness for the .org toaster (which I intend to carry on a skydive at a secret location very soon), then went to my dad's hanger to check something on my wife's airplane. Got out the ranger and let her drive it up and down the grass runway (but she'd always come back and wave at me because she was so proud and wanted me to see her).

Went back home, changed and went down to the neighbor's pool for about 3 hours. Just me and her - it was "Daddy" this and "Daddy" that - we played lots of games and she could not stop 'picking' on me (so I'd dump her).

After the pool, she wanted to go get a movie and watch it with me, but my wife came home so we went to dinner with some friends. Afterwards we stopped and picked out a movie she wanted (The Chipmunks Stranded on a Desert Island movie - Oh boy), and she sat beside me and held onto me the entire movie.

Afterwards at bedtime she wanted to cuddle; and as she fell asleep she told me she loved me soooo much; she was very content. I held her for about an hour (slept some too) and then quietly distangled myself and kissed her goodnight.

I know I don't have many more kinds of days coming, so it was a treasure. Better than any Busa ride, day on the track or dropzone than I could ever have...

It was a good daddy-daughter day for sure

That is a good feeling.. I love it when my daughter is in a ggod mood and we hang out and just have fun. I took her to New York last month, just her and I, and we had a blast. Central park, empire state building , walkin , walking and more walking, and shopping, just had a blast. have to enjoy them now before the get to old and leave the house.

That is great to hear.. I have an 11 year old daughter also. And I fear that those day will be short lived as she grows up.

She's 11, but she can't handle ANYTHING dramatic..she even got scared in the Chipwrecked movie when the volcano erupted and had to leave the room....

Awesome day indeed! I had a similar day with my 3yr old the other day, though we watched Scooby Doo I love when those days come along though, in some ways I cannot wait for her to be a little older so we can go and do more things (perhaps travel some place fun like Paris) but I know those days will come entirely too soon on their own.

You forgot the ICECREAM!!!!:duh: Did the same thing!

 

[skydivr]

This one gets me RIGHT HERE

She may be alright but I understand. If you can imagine a soft cartoon pirates of the Caribbean thats Tintin.
Watch the trailer on YouTube. Anyway time with kids is great especially if they aren't making you crazy during said time

Take advantage of those days while you can. They go by FAST.
