Last night we want on a double date with our long-time friends, Darrell and Mandy. The plan was to go to dinner and a movie. Someone anonymously gave us a $50 gift card to Chili's and two movie tickets, so we were excited to go on a date for free! We all wanted to see Indiana Jones, but guess what? Between the time we decided to see it on Thursday and the time we went to buy the tickets on Friday, it stopped showing! Nothing else looked worth seeing. So we improvised!
When we checked into Chili's to get our table, we made sure to emphasize that we only needed FOUR seats, no highchairs, no boosters, no car seat slings....nada! What a relief! No "stop hitting him", "please don't throw your food", "get off the floor", "sit still", "if I have to tell you again....", you get the idea!
Afterwards, we acted like we were 13 again and went to Camelot and played a round of miniature golf. There were plenty of people there, but there was one family in particular that caught my attention. It was a mom and dad and twin little girls, probably a little younger than Rusten and Luke. Every so often, we would hear them scream or cry and Mandy and I would just smile because WE didn't have to take care of it! Then we tried to go to Dewars, but missed them closing by a hair. We ended up at Baskin Robbins for a cool treat after our golf game.
Incidentally, the score of the game was a lock. Rich and Darrell got the same winning score and Mandy and I got the same second place score, some 20 strokes behind the boys. Oh well! It was fun!
