Date night



Thanks to Uncle JJ and Aunt Rach for watching the kids while Ben took Erin on a date for her birthday.  We went to see the traveling exhibit, Our Bodies, at Exploration Place.  It is  series of cadavers intricately dissected with basic physiology information.  Nothing more romantic than looking at dead bodies.  We were both particularly impressed with the displays of the circulatory system.  How they were able to maintain the smallest of capillaries through dissection is amazing.  We are also lucky to see the traveling exhibit, The Scoop on Poop.  Erin was more grossed out by this than the cadavers.  Did you know rabbits poop their food twice?!  They eat it the first time right out of the shoot and then poop the little turds the second time!

The second part of the date was to a shoe store to buy Erin new tennis shoes.  She is getting a bunion on her left foot that has been bothering her so she is really excited about the shoes she found.  Ben also found a pair of shoes... hopefully this did not come out her birthday shoe budget.

We finished the night with a dinner for two.  We even ordered an appetizer!  Big spenders!
