A Day With My Dad aka PawPaw

A couple of weeks ago, my dad came over to spend the day with me and the girls. Trey was out of town and my dad is always there to help me out when he is gone. It was Spring Break for the girls and my dad thought it would be fun to spend the afternoon at Wakulla Springs. It was a gorgeous day and we had a great time!

When we arrived at the park, a few of the boat tours were already sold out, so we bought the next available one that was going to leave about an hour or so later. Since we had time to kill, we let the girls go down and feel the water and then enjoyed ice cream in the lodge along with a little bit of picture taking.

PawPaw and his girls...oh how they love him!

Sweet sisters.

On the boat tour, we had the best guide that I've ever had (I really wish I remembered his name). He sang a cute little song and had everyone make this silly noise when they saw an alligator. Ashton loved it and had everyone laughing when she would do it.

Sitting with PawPaw and looking at the water...

Delaney's 1st time on a boat.

  

One neat thing the guide told us about while we were on the boat tour was the Sally Ward Spring. It's before the entrance to the park and I had no clue that it even existed. On our way out of the park, we had to stop to see the crystal clear water and I am so glad that we did. It was absolutely beautiful.

The girls are standing in front of the Sally Ward Spring. My pictures don't do it justice, but you should definitely stop to see it if you're ever going to the park.

A beautiful picture to end our fun time at Wakulla Springs!

What is a Dad?

A Dad is a person who is loving and kind

And often he knows what you have on your mind.

He's someone who listens, suggests and defends

A dad can be one of your very best friends.

He's proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong,

A dad can be patient and helpful and strong.

In all that you do, a dad's love plays a part

There's always a place for him deep in your heart.

And each year that passes, you're even more glad.

More grateful and proud just to call him your dad!

Thank you Dad...

for listening and caring, for giving and sharing,

but, especially for just being you.

The only thing better

than having you as my DAD...

is my kids having you as their GRANDFATHER

I like to walk with Grandpa...

He takes his time you see

His steps are little just like mine;

He stops and waits for me.

He lets me ask him questions

He lets me hold his hand.

He makes me feel 10 feet tall

And I think that he is grand.

He says there's no one like me

And gold is what I'm worth.

When I get to walk with Grandpa

I'm the luckiest kid on earth!
