Due to the way our week unfolded, Kelsi got to go first. She chose a lovely dinner with me at Red Robin, or "Red Robins"
as she calls it. I think she chose to go there because she has memories of us going there as a family back in Vancouver. After a wonderful cheeseburger meal, we headed over to the nearby mall where she got to pick out her favorite candy from the candy store. It took a while but she finally got the perrrfect bag of gummy bears. The end of the night found us at Toys R Us where Kelsi got to pick out a special toy to bring home. What a fun night with my Little Jo-Jo.
Kayla's turn came the following Saturday and we had a special lunch date at Johnny Rocket's- a 50's style diner in the Capitol Mall.
It was a similar place to the Stardust Diner back in Vancouver where we had been on previous dates. After lunch, we took in the latest Pixar movie, Wall-e. Once the movie wrapped up, we headed over to Toys R Us to equal the playing field from Kelsi's date. A Mary Poppins doll and a Buzz Lightyear toy for Logan later, we headed home.
I am always amazed at two things every time I do a Daddy Date. First, it blows me away to
watch the waitresses reaction at my girls when they learn they are on a "daddy date." I hear, "your daughter is so cute" every time. Second and most importantly, both my girls literally glow during our dates. They know they are so valued and loved and they get extra cuddly. I recommend it to every father in the world!

What gorgeous young ladies you have raised. How thankful Grandparents are when the mommy and daddy love the grandkids so much.

Genius Paul. Question is, what is the man version of daddy dates...
The man version is mud wrestling and firearms- Logan still has a few months before we start.
So is that supposed to be Kate taking Jude out for mud wrestling and firearms or am I supposed to be doing that too?
