For Skylar Sue,
may your adventures never end.

Skylar Sue wakes up on her birthday — her brothers have eaten all the breakfast, and Dad has left a note.
Meet Skylar Sue, Alex, Levi and Cat Cat. Dad's note: he's gone to play a round of frolf and wants everyone to meet him in the park, with a surprise.
The kids decide there's only one way to find Dad — start looking. 'Let's go boys. Time's a-wasting!'
The group heads out and finds only a disc by a basket, with mysterious footprints leading away.
A lone disc golf basket on a sunlit hill, a blue disc resting at its base.
They recognize Dad's favorite disc — and Cat Cat suddenly bolts toward the woods.
Following Cat Cat into the woods, the kids decide they have to split up across three paths.
Each of them takes a separate path deeper into the trees.
Alex's path — a spooky forest, a hooting owl, and an old house at the end of it.
Levi's path — a snack-stealing raccoon leads him straight to the same old house.
Skylar's path — owl and raccoon converge on the old house, and she steps inside.
Surprise! The whole family — plus one owl and one raccoon — gathered around a birthday cake.
Dad explains: the disc was a clue, and the animals were helpers sent to guide them home.
Skylar makes a birthday wish. The helpers promise to tell her when it comes true.

The End

The real Skylar Sue.
