1. Chad spotted a gentleman on the side of the road with a flat tire and helped him out
2. We gave a box of candy to a Fire Station. When the girls gave the firefighter the box, mom told him it was in honor of their father's birthday. When they got back in the car Chad started laughing because he was sure that because of the way mom said it the firefighter thought "their father" was dead. So they were doing random acts of kindness to honor their dead father. haha
3. We also gave candy to the staff at University Medical Center Children's Center
4. We stopped at 2 Police Departments with no luck of finding anyone but Chad spotted some EMT workers parked in a parking lot! I am sure he scared them to death when he jumped out of the car and offered them the candy. They looked pretty apprehensive but then laughed and said thank you when he told them why.
5. Chad gave lollipops to the Boys and Girls Club
6. We volunteered at Bens Bells
7. Mom donated some money to Bens Bells also

16. We put quarters in the candy machines at Frys
17. Taped a note that said "You are an awesome Mom!" on the changing tables.
18. The kids made thank you cards for military that said "Thank you for keeping us safe" I am kicking myself for not getting a picture of this one. We stopped at Golden Corral and found a WW2 vet eating his dinner and the kids gave it to him. His face totally lit up and he told the kids they were so sweet.
19. Passed out stickers to kids waiting in line at Target and Frys.

30. Parked in the back of the parking lot everywhere we went to leave the front spots for others.
31. Handed out bottles of bubbles
32. Sent a picture "I Love You" text message to a bunch of people we love
Okay so we ended up doing extra since 2 were unplanned but it was a lot of fun. It was funny to see people's reactions. Most of the time they looked at us like crazy people but once we explained what we were doing they would smile and say happy birthday to Chad and say what a great idea it was.
Happy birthday to the best guy ever!!!
