Evening With Dad

So, yesterday we went to spend the night at my fathers house. He had planned to have Jim and I go out for a nice dinner and him and the kids were going to hang out together.

Jim and I got all dressed up and went to Jax for a nice evening without kids.(wow, that was weird). We did kind of feel like fish out of water since the nicest place we have ever gone to was Outback Steakhouse. Which we do like to go to. I am a pretty low maintenance kind of girl. When it comes to restaurants. I had Perogis as an appetizer and Fillet Mignon as main course. Jim had Prime Rib and Shrimp. Now I started to take pictures of our food but then I got so hungry when my steak got there I forgot to take a photo.

We had our photo taken but it is kind of fuzzy. They were very busy.

The kids and Grandpa went to the movies and saw Water Horse. They seem to have enjoyed it.

Afterward everyone got home to relax. We brought a Screener movie called Bordertown to watch. Everyone went to bed and I stayed up watching it. Very good movie if you like based on true events.
