Date Night ~ 9-30-11

Michael and I have never had anyone other than family or a couple of close friends watch the boys. And even for almost all of those occasions the sitters have always watched the boys because there were other obligations not just for us to go out and have fun.

I trust my student teacher and after talking about her watching kids and seeing what a great job she did with my school kiddos I had a feeling that she would be great to watch the boys for the evening while we went out. We picked up Cameron at school and took advantage of the di-cut machine to cut out some shapes for school. More on that later.

We grabbed some food for the boys and Lauren and we waited on Michael to arrive home. I originally wanted the date night to be a surprise for Michael but with his work schedule I had to tell him we had plans or he could have ended up with a customer and blown our date night. So, we didn't have planned what we wanted to do but quickly figured out what our game plan would be. We went to play miniature golf in Spring, a favorite activity, and then to dinner at Red Robin, to experience a new place we have always seen and had been yet to try.





The miniature gold place was a bit run down. Michael beat me on the LAST hole! Then we went inside and played some games. Michael and I have always talked about dreaming of owning a miniature golf place. In fact there is even the remnants of one that has gone out of business in our town by our barber and I drool every time we go by there and wonder maybe, just maybe.

We had a great evening and it was wonderful to get away just the two of us. Although it was pretty sad that we were home by 9:00. We just can't hang with the young kids any more.
