Family Dates

I couldn't have asked for a better start to labor day weekend.
Busy, busy, busy.

We started a new tradition: Family Lunch Date! Once a week I want to meet Rico and spend his lunch hour together. This week it was BEAUTIFUL weather so we had a picnic at the base of the Keeper of the Plains statue. 

I did NOT take this photo…but this is where we were. If it were night. and I were an amazing photographer

We Came

We Played

 We ate our picnic

 And we played some more

 It was SO amazingly refreshing.

That night, we went on family date NIGHT. We went to dinner in Old Town and ate at a brewery. 

There was live music (and it was good!), so we were loving it. 

We were loving it so much that we stayed for dessert too.

Rico's tiny flight beers looked perfectly sized for Eli…don't worry, he didn't try any

Eli made some bitter beer faces- he seems to be over discovering his feet, but now he has discovered is own lips

Afterwards we went to Old Town. We went in some little boutiques, watched some street performers, 

and showed Eli where our wedding reception was. 

 Ahhh memory lane.

It was beautiful weather and Eli was asleep in the Tula, so we kept doing things just because we could and we were having so much fun.

That's when we took it too far.

You know when you are painting something and you look at it and think,
"Wow, that looks pretty good! It may just need a little something more"
and then you ruin it.

I do that a lot.

This time is was frozen yogurt.
(of note: we also saw real life Dwight Shrute. He looked, dressed, and acted the same as Dwight: if Dwight had ridden a bike- it was A-MAZ-ING)

It was there, it looked yummy, and it meant that we got to spend more time in Old Town.

"Wait, I thought you got dessert with dinner"

Yes, yes we did.

We both ended up eating too much and feeling sick the rest of the night.

BUT- the date night itself was pretty amazing!

We went home to pack for our 24 hour Kansas City Adventure the next day...
