Outside fun...

Nick and I went to Des Moines and had a good date day together. B and B had the kids and they took them to do all kinds of fun things. The kids had a great time and will remember that forever. Nick and I went to see Australia in theatres... I liked it but Nick thought it could have ended 5 times. We got home and put the kids in bed then headed out for diner with Nicks cousins. I don't have the final picture... just the one where we were getting ready to take one. It was nice to see everyone.
