The father of two decided he wanted to see his young daughters, three-year-old Madison and five-year-old Audrey, as soon as possible, so their school helped arrange the surprise.
The girls, who both attend Learning Experience in Lakewood Ranch, were on a special playdate set up by the staff, complete with costumed characters, when Bolin walked in.
Sarah, Madison and Audrey’s mom, posted video of the reunion on Facebook, which had been viewed over 1,000 times as of Friday afternoon.
“The girl’s reaction to seeing daddy for the first time in 6 months! Be still my heart!” she wrote.
