Late Nights and Fun Times

What a fun night for us! Tonight was Wipeout night first of all. We all snuggle up on our very family sized couch and laugh hysterically over Wipeout, but tonight was even better. After Wipeout we all jumped in the truck, jammies and all, and headed to free rootbeer float night at Sonic. What a surprise!! I had told Mark about it but never expected for him to say "let's go". He's not usually like that. He's all about bedtime and no snacks after dinner. But tonight, tonight we decided to live a little. The boys had never even been to Sonic before so to see the girls all skating around on roller skates delivering food and floats was awesome enough but being out after dark too was just the coolest thing for them! We opened the back of the truck up and they sat there with their floats taking it all in. Before heading home we drove past a driving range we had just heard about that is minutes from our door. They even have wing night there on Tues. or maybe it's Thursdays anyway it looks cool and we can't wait to go. We drove home with ALL the windows down! Something else we rarely get to do. The boys mouths were going a mile a minute and I thought they would never be able to sleep. Much to my surprise, when we got home they all brushed their teeth and went to bed without one single complaint and fell right to sleep - with big smiles on their faces. This was one of the best family nights we have had in far too long. I hope it's the start of many, many more. :-)

I love nights like that! Perfect.

I had heard about Sonic doing that. We used to have 3 of them in Quincy and now we have none. Bummer.

My husband refuses to go to Sonic...one bad experience has left him with a lifetime of anger towards the place. Sounds like you had a great time....glad to hear it!!!
