Day 163: Family date

Friday night was our couple date night, but today was our family date. We took the kids to a family fun park called Austin's Park about an hour south of us. They have video games, air hockey, pool, go karts, bumper boats, a rock wall, laser tag, tea cups, toddler train, batting cages, putt putt golf, swing set, and a pizza buffet.

It is kiddie heaven. The boys love it. We try to take them a few times a year. Today was one of the few days we got a chance to take them. It was a long day. My everything hurts. The baby had some fun too. She swung on the baby swing for the first time. She LOVED it. She went down the slide a few times, with me taking her to the top and daddy holding her the whole way down. Lil Bit even road the Rio Grande Ole Time train twice. I couldn't tell what she thought of it.  She was paying attention to everything and everyone so her senses were overloaded, but she seemed to like it.

The boys ran themselves ragged. They played every game twice at least. They got hot and sweaty playing laser tag. They ate their weight in pizza, pudding and Mug root beer. They shot and killed zombies, aliens and "bad' guys.

It was a little harder with the baby for daddy and I to run and play, so we took turns running around with the boys. She did get to sample pudding and real macaroni and cheese. Since she was the only one who napped and spent most of the day in her stroller, she is the only one still going. She is crawling all over the living room and laughing like crazy. We're all about to drop, but need some time to unwind.

Daddy and I did stop at a gourmet food/wine warehouse on the way home. We are enjoying a few after dinner chocolates with a few well deserved glasses of wine. The boys enjoyed a nice bottle of gourmet root beer and the baby ate an arrowroot cookie, smearing most of it on her head and pants. A great family date, which apparently is dissolving into a tickling fight. Lil Bit thinks watching Nathan get tickled to the point of shrieking is hilarious.
