So. Last night I went on a date (Yes, a real date. Hand holding, you don't have to pay date!) with a Boy! (who just happened to be the Red Flame). We abandoned the kids and ran to Lagoon for one of our Russian friends birthday parties. Luckily we had got in half off (man that place is expensive!!).

As we held hands (our own hands without kids in between us) and walked through the park, we rode roller coasters (even the rickety, old white one- remember that one?!) including wicked, spider (which I loved!) and Colossus (I know my brothers remember this one!) played video games and just enjoyed each other and talked.

What a night! It was great! At one point as we were waiting in line, we saw a group of teens with one girl in particular that seemed very eager for attention. all 3 girls were in these outfits and after observing them for a moment, Artyom and I looked at each other and gave "the look". You know the one. The one where we BOTH know what we needed to say without saying it. Well luck have it we just said it in Russian. "No way. Never. will our girls be allowed to leave the house looking like that!!" It was a great time and we had a blast feeling young again as we rode the rides. At the end of the night, (which was only about 10:30) I was eager to get home. Tired and content to start all over again tomorrow.

And although the crowd at Lagoon that surrounded us would have proven otherwise, I could not help but wonder....Am I getting too old for this?
