Family Date Activities

Recently we've made a goal to have at least one family date night (or day) activity. It's been so satisfying to do special, planned things as a family. We're pretty frugal folks, so it's also been fun to budget out money specifically for some fun activities. Tyler has really enjoyed it and loves when he gets to spend time with the both of us. Whenever he's upset and I'm around he cries, "I want my daddy!" And when he's upset when he's with Jake he cries, "I want my mommy!" But when we're altogether, he gets confused and doesn't know what to say. I love it! Here are some pictures of some recent family activities:

Family date @ Golfland. We pass it on the way to Jake's parents house and everytime we do, Ty talks about the time we went golfing at the castle.




Tyler was so funny when it was his turn. He'd bring the ball within a few inches of the hole and then push it on in with his putter. He was so proud of himself and had a great time. He also thought it was hilarious when Jake purposely putt the ball into the water. He still talks about it. Here's a little clip of him putting.


Just had to throw this one in there. This was just a me & Jake date. His brother Nate gave us awesome tickets to a Suns game. Great seats and so much fun! Thanks Nate!

Family fishing trip @ Water Ranch on the windiest day of the year. It ended up raining and the wind was CRAZY, but we had a fun time.


Chuck E. Cheese. This was a lot of fun, but crazy packed with all those kids. And it was a little overwhelming for Ty with all of those games. But we still had a great time. Ty loved watching his daddy play basketball to try and get tickets. You know how Chuck E. Cheese is a sponsor for PBS kids? Well anytime it shows one of their little commercials Tyler gets so excited and says, "It's him! Like at the pizza store!" For some reason he won't call it Chuck E. Cheese, it's the pizza store.




We love our family date activities and look forward to many more. Got any fun ideas for us?
