Last night we decided to try something out. We took the family out on a date. (I knew that we are going to need to practice befroe California--so I thought it would be a great way to start it out). Anyway, We got everyone loaded in Surbie and took off for Ogden. We were headed to Tony's! YUMMY!! So in the car we talked aobut what green behavior would be in a resturaunt and how we were going to act. We talked about the different kind of Pizza that would be there..."No little Cesears???????" (he did survive). And then we talked about what we woudl do afterwards (Go to Farr's Ice Cream and go to Santa's Village).
At Tony's??? We did great! It took a little while for the Pizza to come out so I got Garrett distracted with talking about the Dinosaurs...that worked out. There was a family sitting next to us and the dad was joking with his daughter and said that he was going to "kick her out of her chair". Garrett grabs the knife and curls up into a ball and tells him that "he cannot kick her...I will cut you." (We need to review mean and friendly teasing). That was pretty funny.
Everyone Stuffed themselves: garrett 5 slices...Maggie 2, Isaac 3, Kellis 2 plus 5 slices of garlic bread, Virginia one slice and 2 slices of garlic bread. Scott and I held our own...YUMMY!
Now it is off to the Ice cream shop. 2 Chocolates, one lime ricky, one vanilla, and one raspberry cheesecake on a sugar cone, and two whistle pops...one chocolate mustasch, one vanilla melting mess, and one potty trip to the gutter and we were off to Santa's Village....cold, cold, cold!!
Hummm...potty??? yes! EVERYONE---but where???? Wow! We found one at the village, and the boys went one way the girls went the other way. So, Scott is in the middle, Kellis is on one side and Isaac on the other. Everyone is doing their business when from behind Scott he hears, "Hey Big Guy!"
Garrett didn't realize the "Big Guy" was Scott. Isaac says, "That not a Big Guy, that's Scott! Garrett didn't care who it was Big Guy or Scott, he was in the way of the stall that Garrett wanted to use. Leave it to Garrett for the stories.
All said, Family Date night was a success. Everyone was on green behavior, we did three activities, and we all made it home safe...Big Guy and all.

April,
Congratulations on your engagement! I hope that you find the happiness that you deserve. I have enjoyed following your blog for quite a while. I love seeing all the great photos of my neices and nephews especially the ones on the farm cart. Could you please email me some of these and more recent pictures of the kids... I'm trying to make a calender for my mom and I would like some pictures of all of her grandkids and great grandkids in it. Thanks
Luv Trish
What a great idea to do a Family Date! I am sure you guys are going to have a lot more of those in the years to come. Glad you all had a great holiday!
