Moving right along. This birthday was fun because it was on a Saturday which meant he could pick whatever we did all day long. Most years, we just have to celebrate when he comes home from work.
Mr. Hunt slept in a little and when he got up, he wanted to go straight to the Rod and Gun store here in Charleston. Before we left, Jane and I gave him some pictures she drew and painted and also gave him his one present which were a pair of Columbia Fishing Shorts. I think he was happy. We didn't get him anything else because his main gift is the Good Hunt he is actually on right now with his friends in Arkansas.
So, we went to the Rod and Gun store and he loved it more than he thought. He is excited its right down the street from our house...I don't know how to feel about that! haha
Next, he really wanted to go buy a fishing pole for Jane so they could go fishing after her nap, so we went over to Dicks Sporting Goods. Jane has also been wanting a soccer ball (not sure where she learned that from), so Mr. Hunt bought her a fishing pole and a kid soccer ball. Jane was so excited.
We had lunch at Grouchos Deli which is a yummy deli that we used to eat at in Columbia SC when we were in college.
During Jane's nap, I napped as well. Mr. Hunt played some video games and relaxed. Once Jane woke up, we went straight to the little pond in our neighborhood. It was a nice walk for Jane in the wagon. She loves wan rides.
It was the cutest thing to see Mr. Hunt teach Jane about fishing. She actually showed interest in it. Too bad we didn't catch anything (we aren't even sure if there is anything living in this pond). Im sure if we actually caught something, she would have loved it even more.
She liked pretending she was casting the best. She also would forget about the line and run around with the pole and get all tangled. What do you expect?
Mr. Hunt just liked being out there with her in the sun. Jane also accidentally dropped her soccer ball and since we were on a hill, it rolled right into the pond. It was "gone" for about 30 minutes before Mr. Hunt saved it with his pole, so that took most of our time after we realized catching a fish was probably not going to happen.
When we were out there fishing, a few little girls rode by on their bikes. Jane has been asking for a bike for a few weeks now. Mr. Hunt decided we should go look at them and see. Of course that means buy one. So we went to Target and got her a helmet and bike. We didn't have time to ride it that day because it still needed to be put together.
Mr. Hunt wanted to try a new place for dinner called Hubee Dee's (or something like that). It was good chicken. Then when we got home it was just in time to sing Happy Birthday and cut into the ice cream cake I got him at Marble Slab. He isn't a big sweets fan, but I know he likes ice cream more than cake, so I thought that was good. He liked it.
He gave Jane a bath and put her to bed. That was the end of our day. I think he had a good time. Like I said, it was more fun than the last few years because we had the entire day to celebrate him. Of course he took the time to spoil his little girl on HIS day. Buying her a fishing pole, soccer ball, helmet, and a bike! I promise that doesn't happen every day. I guess his idea of fun is seeing Jane super happy.
Anyway, Happy Birthday Mr. Hunt! We love you so much! Next year 30 will be very fun Im sure with TWO kids! You're the BEST!
Love,
Jennifer and Jane
