Free Date


Andy and I had the best free date on Sunday. Some good friends of ours offered to watch our kids while we went on a date, which was awesome for the kids to play with their kids and great for us because we didn't have to pay for sitter.

So we dropped them off ran a couple of errands, got two free coffees at Starbucks. Did you know that if you buy Starbucks coffee you can turn in the empty bag for a free coffee? Well, we had 2 so we both got free ones!

We then headed to Minnehaha Park. We had never been there before so we walked to the Minnehaha Falls. It was beautiful! We then hiked through the woods on this awesome trail. At one point we were following another couple and they came to a large muddy part on the trail and the woman looked at her husband said, " No way". They turned around...Andy laughed and said, " Must be city folks!" We just hopped across the rocks and made it over the muddy path!

After hiking the trail we went to Chipotle because I had a gift card from a student in class. Here we enjoyed massive burritos and chips and salsa! YUM!

After that we got back in the car and stopped at the DQ where I again had a gift card from another student (thanks kids!) and a coupon for a buy one get one free blizzard. Again no money spent!!

We had been gone for about 4 hours and it felt like 8! When we picked the kids up, they were happy and had a blast with their friends. It was a wonderful free date! :)
