Dream Date!



Tonight i had the night of nights. I have always dreamed of having date nights with my Princess and the night came. Our first date, and like most 1st dates it did not come out as planned. Prince Andres(my son) had a play day with his friend which was perfect for me to take my daughter to the Bodies exhibition in Ft Lauderdale. I did not tell her where we were going, so she was fidgeting with suspense so i started to mess with her telling her we were going to feed random homeless people off of Riverfront but inside i was stirring with excitement because i had the chance to be Hero. As we got to Riverfront she started to explode with excitement because she can see all the signs to the Bodies exhibition. Hero! was I! we get to the desk where we buy tickets. "Two please?" "I'm sorry sir, we are closed for a private function". My heart dropped. They were closed to the public for a private function. Not so Hero! I was bummed. but Kayla was still excited because i came up with the unexpected.

Kayla thanked me and said we will come back, and next time i can get dressed up and bring my notepad Papi". We proceeded to have Pizza and Icecream next to the river. She stayed clutched to my arms all night, with her head on my shoulders, thanking me over again for bringing her. I was hoping to be her hero, but she ended up being mine. Rewarding me with the privilege to walk the streets of Riverfront ft lauderdale with a Princess. For two hours it was our world as we sat next to the river and watched the yachts come in and out. My night ended with me coming home picking my son up from his play day. He sat in my lap, said "I love you papi", and then fell asleep.

May this be the 1st of many dream dates with my Princess Kayla. I am blessed!

I think it is great that you spend quality time with your kids. Nowadays many parents do not have the opportunity to have the same experience as you. I am very happy for you.
