Dad's Day with Megan

Kyle wanted to do a special "Day with Dad" for each of the girls this summer.  The way he explained it to me was "we are going to do whatever we want."  He gave them each a list of some attractions (some they've been to, some they haven't), as well as favorite snacks and meal options, and taking their picks, he organized a full day of fun.  (Yes, he is Super Dad - no doubt about it).

Here is how Megan's day unfolded:

In GH, ready to get started on her day of fun with Dad
First stop was the Farmer's Market for kettle corn and a soft pretzel (some people call this "breakfast")
Quick visit to the playground by the pier
A beautiful morning for a Day with Dad
Next stop: Critter Barn (Zeeland)
Happy and surrounded by cats
Checking out the rabbits
This place is VERY interactive, giving you free reign to hold, pet and even feed all kinds of animals
More rabbits
He doesn't look super thrilled about being held, does he?
On to the baby chicks
She's got one!  And I think he lived to tell the tale.
Bonding with the baby goats
...and sheep
More sheep
...and more goats.  She made quick friends with them when she found the feed buckets.
She was lucky enough to participate in bottle-feeding the baby cows, too.  Awwww!
Lunch at Anna's House (Grand Rapids)
Do not be fooled by the Snoopy in this picture - Hannah was nowhere in sight.  This is her "spare" which was adopted by Megan.
After lunch, they visited the Children's Museum (Grand Rapids)

Working the construction site
Fort-building fun at the Children's Museum
Testing out her fort
Out for a drive
Playing shop
Creating a body bubble - she almost had it over her head this time!
I cannot explain this strange little get-up
And finally, it was back to Grand Haven...
A little splash pad fun
Mini-golf at the Chinook Pier
Lining up her shot

Ice cream treat at Dairy Creme
Their last stop after a FULL DAY of fun was to fly her kite at the nearby elementary school and playground by our house (this was a major score for Dad - she had been bugging us for WEEKS to fly her kite)
Happy little kite flyer
Nice job to Dad on a perfect day for our big girl
