Begging for a date night

Kase has been begging for a date night with his dad all month. With Dan's busy work schedule, it was long over due and Kase was beginning to wonder if he would ever get his one on one time he was wanting. So, tonight, Dan came home with a surprise for his little man. It dang near made all of his dreams come true.

After work Dan pulled up in front of the house on one of my dad's motorcycle. He just sat there reeving up the engine until Kase noticed and went running outside. Kase went nuts when Dan asked him, "Are you ready to go out on a surprise date with me?"

Kase didn't need to be asked twice. He was hopping on the back of the motorcycle within seconds. SWEET!

What Kase didn't know was where they were going or what they were doing. He was just excited to get a date. And the fact that Dan was taking him out on a motorcycle was a really cool start.

Dan had packed some swimming stuff in the saddle bags of the bike ahead of time and arranged with some of Kase's friends and their dads to meet up with them for a treat at Dairy Queen and then a trip to a swimming pool. The fun part was that instead of just going straight to the DQ (about 6 blocks away), Dan took the long route to get there. With a drive out the canyon, and all around town, it took about 45 minutes of motorcycle riding to finally reach their destination where all of Kase's friends were waiting to start the fun. After treats, the sun was setting and they all went to Holle's back yard, where Dan had arranged with the Holle's to bring the boys over for a night swimming party.

To go swimming is cool enough, but to go swimming in the pitch black night with nothing but a pool light on and a bunch of your friends hanging with you too.

Our little Kase was loving the way this date was going.

Thanks to Dad, from Kase. Thanks to Kase for being a rock star kid, from dad.
