WAY back in April, we gifted Lane with the promise of a night of riding go-carts and playing mini golf.
Then it snowed.
In April.
There was illness.
Rain.
Lots of rain.
Places to be.
People to see.
And suddenly it was JULY.
On date night Friday night, Blake and I checked the weather, talked about everyone else’s schedule, and decided we were going to make this happen the next night!
We also drove over to Riverside park to see what it was all about!
We kept it a secret all day Saturday!
As we held hands to pray at dinner Saturday evening, Blake called on me to pray.
It was part of the plan!
Pay attention!
After I thanked the Lord for our food, for the day, and for everyone being together, I asked Him to bless our evening of riding go carts and playing mini golf.
Then I opened my eyes and looked over at Lane – who was grinning ear to ear!
Perfect!!
We hurried through dinner and dishes and headed out!
First up – go carts!!
These four went together!
Tate and Eliza had to ride in a two-seater one, and only someone with a driver’s license could drive them!
This girlie was by far the most excited!
Tate was patient as he waited for his turn and then Grant took him for a ride!
I gave Lane my turn so he could go again – it was his birthday present after all!
Next up was mini golf.
This was more fun than I thought it would be!
Even Tate and Eliza loved seeing how many shots it would take them to get into the hole!
We had balls go into the water a lot.
Lane got a HOLE IN ONE!
And got to use a ball that lighted up because it was his birthday celebration!
It was such a beautiful night.
We got home super late, crawled into bed without showers and baths, but with VERY FULL HEARTS.
It is a JOY to celebrate you, Lane Stevan!
Happy, happy belated birthday gift!!
So many more blessed memories tucked deep into our hearts!!!
