Usually Friday night is our reserved date night, and we head out as soon as Emma is home from ballet and the kids are settled eating their Friday night pizza. This week we decided to go out and do something as a family--it had been months since we had been able to do that, with Rick's busy season and then the baby.
We went out to eat in Market Street, at a yummy build-your-own burger place that even had gluten-free buns! The food was super good, and I balanced out my parmesan & garlic fries with delicious roasted vegetables and yummy salad. Eating out is one of my favorite things to do, especially when the food is so fabulous. I love love love having so many restaurant choices, although it's not going to be good for losing the baby weight. ☺
After we ate, the plan was to head to one of our favorite parks on the lake, where we could feed the ducks. We had been saving the heels of our bread for the past couple of weeks for this very purpose, and we had a bagful all ready to go.
I don't remember the last time we took the kids to feed ducks, and they LOVED it.
The very best nights are just like these...simple, but just spending time together. We've really missed that over the last couple of months, and we are definitely appreciating being able to do it now.
