Dates With Kids!
I decided before I went to New York with Morgan that I wanted to take each of the other kids on a one on one date. Two weeks ago Brooklyn and Brinley were at a girl scout camp all week so I decided to take Mason on his date. He had a gift card to Big Al's, which is a bowling/arcade center, he wanted to go with me to play the arcade games. We had a great time and Mason was in heaven! He probably told me about 10 times "Thank you mom for taking me here. " We then went to our new Sonic restaurant for half price drinks. Last week Mason was in Scout camp all week. He had a fun time for his last year of Boy Scouts. I went to help on Thursday for the entire day. I was kind of dreading it all week but it ended up being very fun. 
The boys have so much fun doing boy things: BB gun shooting, volleyball, nature trail hikes, cooking bloody fingers (hot dogs w/ketchup), and archery. Later that evening Mason said "Mom do you know what the two best things about this summer have been?" He said going to Big Als and today when you came to Cub Scout Camp with me. He then gave me a big hug! Little things like that just make my day! While Mas was at camp I took Brooklyn on her date. She wanted to go to lunch and to the Kitt Kittredge American Girl Movie. We had a great time and the movie was so cute! Brooklyn had fun and wanted to have our picture taken together in one of those booths at theTheater. The next day Brinley and I had her date. We both rode bikes up the street to Wendys. She did such a great job riding her two wheeler all the way there. She got all her favorites: chicken nuggets, fries, frosty, and mandarin oranges. Of course she couldn't eat it all! We then rode our bikes to a new park that is close by. On our way there I ran over some broken glass and popped a hole in my tire. I had to walk my bike all the way home while Brinley rode. Brinley still had fun on the date, especially at the new Park. All three of the kids just loved having me all to themselves and I loved it also! Thanks to Morgan for babysitting each time I went out with her siblings. She will get her turn this week because we are off to the Big Apple tomorrow morning!!!

Super fun! I really need to do a better job of one on one's with my kiddos. Pete does one with each child every month, but I rarely do it. They do love to be with their parents and have that special time.
Have fun in NY!
Biking to Wendy's to get Frosty's is one of our favorite summertime activities! I'm glad you had such a good time at scout camp with Mason. So, what's your date with Maddie going to be?
Have a great time in NYC!
Great fun with great kids!
Good for you. Those are the memories that kids will never forget. I think it's the little things that mean the most to kids. By the way, Sonic has this sunrise smoothis that is just too yummy for words, check it out on your next date :)
