We’ve been really lousy about taking the kids on their one-on-one dates for the last few weeks, so tonight we had one big, combined family date. We let the kids choose whatever they wanted to do. It was unanimous. Their big plan was to go to the pet store and then go to McDonald’s for dinner. They are certainly easy to please. We finished off the night by getting root beer ice cream at Kirt’s.
It was a great date. The kids were funny at the pet store. They sure got excited over all of the animals. Emily’s favorite was the bunnies, Elise the kitty cats, and Ben liked the lizards, snakes, and rats. The highlight for me was hearing Elise pronounce “tra-lanch-lula”.

It’s a rare occasion when we don’t have our camera on hand. Nate snapped this picture with his cell phone. The kids were laughing at the mice. One little brown mouse would hold on to the inside of the exercise wheel and flip upside down while his friend ran around in it. It was pretty funny to watch.

I can just hear Elise saying that and it cracks me up! What cute kids!!
At first I was thinking it was Abby pronouncing "tra-lanch-lula"...cute kiddies! Are you convinced that Abby has red hair yet? ;)
So, are you ready for them to want to take one of those critters home?!
We treat the pet store like the zoo . . . you just look at the animals, you don't take them home!
