Family Date Night

Tom had been working nights, so Friday afternoon (when he and the kids woke up) he told me that we needed to get the kids dressed- cause he was taking us out.
The kids needed some snuggle time with Daddy before getting cleaned up.


Our first stop on our date was at Fort Worth's Botanical Gardens.
We hadn't been there in ages.
It was beautiful weather and the kids had a blast running around.
Timer on the camera :)






Totally posed... but sweet, nonetheless.

:)


Our next stop was dinner.
Tom had wanted to try out Love Shack- Top Chef's Tim Love's burger joint.


It was a successful dinner. Never know how its going to go with the kids. Sitting outside helped.
Food was good- great onion rings!



Our next stop was to Williams Sonoma- I wanted to spend a gift card.
Not the best place to take kids on a date, but we made it out without breaking anything.
(at one point, Henry was found in the front display enjoying his loud echo)


Our final destination was Barnes and Noble, where we let Henry and Margaret Gray pick out a book .(Henry is now owner of the most annoying fire truck book- Tom said, "But look how happy he is!" Margaret kept taking all the stuffed animals off the displays- she went home with an animal book)


Wonderful evening.



These pics are from the next day.
Late afternoon popcorn.
Henry does it all... from throwing away the plastic wrap to pushing "POP" to picking out everyone's bowls.




Why we eat it outside.

And a little basketball.

Can't get enough of this sweet family time!
