First, let me admit, I've been a terrible dad by neglecting this blog and not adding more posts of Grant's accomplishments and celebrations. Grant is a wonderful son full of personal determination and compassion for others. I'm lucky to be there for him as a coach and need to remember to first be a father by capturing these memories for a time when they or I begin to fade away.
Son, as you read this later in life, when I have turned this blog over to you to share with your son or daughter, know that I loved you more than I was able to express.
Since Grant's birthday is in late July when school is out and everyone is traveling to get out of the heat, we decided to have his birthday party in May to allow his "core" friends celebrate with him. He was trying to decide between go kart racing at Octane Raceway or laser tag and air hockey at Mavrix. Through some negotiating with the staff and because they are next to each other, we found a way to plan both events for the same price as one "birthday package". This kept the rambunctious young-ones excited, well-fed, and busy. Since they are all competitive, we even had cool swag for First Place in racing and laser tag at the end.
Kids and parents commented the day was a hit! Most important to me, Grant enjoyed his day and thanked us for making it all come together. Check it out!
One very cool, cute kid! Thanks for posting, Good Dad.

You're an incredible father to your amazing song, and I hope he cherishes these memories. As a high schooler, I can attest to many of the things that you have said. Thank you, and I hope you and your family have an amazing life.

ReplyDeleteIf you're looking for another way to elevate future birthday parties, Birthday Neon Signs would be a great addition! They add such a fun and vibrant vibe to any celebration, plus you can customize them to fit the theme of the party. Imagine a neon sign for Grant's birthday next time – it would make for an awesome backdrop for photos and make the day even more memorable!
What an awesome birthday celebration for Grant! It sounds like the perfect mix of fun activities and thoughtful planning. I’m sure those memories will be ones he treasures forever. You’re doing an amazing job capturing these moments!
ReplyDeleteFor an extra festive touch in his room, how about decorating it with Birthday Neon Signs? They’d add a fun, vibrant atmosphere and be the perfect finishing touch for his birthday celebrations.
Thanks for sharing this special day with us—here’s to many more amazing memories ahead!
Just wanted to drop in and say the Disney LA Strong T-Shirt is such a cool find. I came across it while browsing for some Disney merch with a local twist, and this one really stood out. It’s got that classic Disney vibe but also reps LA pride in a subtle, stylish way.
ReplyDeleteThe fit is great too – soft material, true to size, and holds up well after a couple washes. Definitely recommend it if you’re a Disney fan from SoCal or just want something unique that blends both worlds.
Anyone know if there are other city-themed Disney shirts like this? I’d collect a few if they’re out there!
