Date Night

  • Babysitter for three boys for three hours: $18
  • Admission for two to the Lenexa BBQ Festival (after thinking I'd planned a really original date, waiting 20 minutes for the shuttle, enduring the ride in a short yellow bus, and then finding out that although there were 150+ booths where competitors were cooking their best BBQ, none of them actually SELL their BBQ even though I was looking forward to eating BBQ all day long and then having the lady at the information booth tell us that what our admission charge gets us is a face painting, local band concert and the opportunity to walk around and look at the BBQ competitors): $6
  • Walking down the street to our favorite bakery/delicatessen (Panera Bread Co.) for soup and a sandwich (but not BBQ): $16.73
  • Two hot fudge sundaes from Sonic (to chase down the BBQ..oh, that's right, we just got to LOOK at BBQ): $3.79
  • Spending three hours with the woman I love (and learning how to correctly spell delicatessen): priceless

I was secretly hoping that we wouldn't have to eat BBQ. I don't even like BBQ sauce. But the people-watching was entertaining!

a night out is a night out! Aaron and I usually end up at the bookstore sitting together reading different books, that's how original we are! :)

I'm with you, Jenny. Most barbeque sauce is just too strong and spells
instant heartburn.

Our favorite summer treats are McDonalds' mango fruit smoothie and
Dairy Queen's caramel and pecan sundae--they put lots of caramel in the bottom so you don't run out.

That is so cute. I think it is great the things that a spouse will endure to be with the other.
It is cool to see that what was the most fun wasn't what you did but who you did it with. bye,chanel
