Family Date

In January, during Russell's beautifully long Winter break, we took an afternoon to tour some model homes, a fun family pastime of mine and something that Russell and I have enjoyed together a few times before.  We looked up some homes that were over our potential range (oh, wait--that's any home besides cardboard boxes) because it's only fun if you can dream a bit, and walked, imagined, and planned through 4 models of varying large sizes.  Ty had fun walking up and down all of the stairs, wandering far enough away so that we couldn't see him then running back, and surprising us all, not breaking/messing up anything!  We even got to stop at one house for a while and watch Cars that was playing in the loft--happy fate!  I'm pretty sure we'll be doing this again.
After our model home tour, we went to Baskin Robbins for 99 cent scoops and Ty even got his own!  Lucky duck.
 He LOVED it and was full of energy (read: sugar) so when we walked across the parking lot to Smith's to get some stuff for dinner--after we had dessert--he was wild!
After coming home, Ty soon went to bed and Russell and I made Monkey Bread Pizza from a Pinterest recipe.  We had a really fun time spending the day and evening together.  I need to remind myself to do this more often!
