Daddy - Daughter Day Out

Yesterday was Matt's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY! He had the day off from work and decided and he and Harper were going to have a day of FUN. Unfortunately she did not let him sleep in much - "welcome to my world" :-) They started off the day going fishing at 'their' favorite fishing hole. Didn't catch anything though. Matt told Harper it may be to cold to catch any fish and she told him the fish were not biting because they were having lunch.. They then did their good deed for the day. There was a old farmer who had come up to see if the fish were biting and when he went back to his car he couldn't get it to start. Matt tried to help him figure out what the problem was and when they couldn't get it started, Matt offered to drive him home... To Schyler! A bit down the road thes old guy saw a truck and a trailor that he recognized and told Matt that if he could flag him down he could catch a ride with him. After a few miles Matt got the guy to pull over and the off he went to Schyler. They then headed back in town to go Drag Racing! Yes - I said Drag Racing. Harper and Matt often watch drag racing on TV and whenever they go to O'reilys and Harper sees the Go Carts at Champions she wants to go... so they did! Harper is convinced that all racing is Drag Racing. They had a great time! When I got home from work they were sitting at Matt's bench playing the Motor Game... Matt is rebuilding the motor for his truck and the motor is on a stand in the garage. They look at one of Matt's catalogs and he points to a picture in the catalog and then he asks Harper to find that part on his engine. Harper and I then went for a long walk over the Mulberry Road...
