True confessions: We did it again! Our daughters are away tonight, so Steve and I stole some precious time alone with Micah. We've stumbled around, dazed, in a haze since we got "the news" so we were anxious to enjoy our evening with our son. He and Daddy wrestled, then we all snuggled on the couch and watched a movie.
Micah's favorite outing is hanging out at the Bass Pro Shop, a cross between a monstrous retail store and a wildlife museum, so when we asked him what he wanted to do tonight, we figured it was a no-brainer. But, he surprised us and said he wanted to eat Chinese food at one of our favorite haunts. Yikes, dilemma. We looked at his sweet, round face, then turned to each other and... caved. When we nodded our heads, he jumped up and down, wrapped his arms around Daddy's neck and said, "You mean we're breaking the rule for no reason at all?" Yes, we are. Again.
We started with cashew chicken and vegetable fried rice at Canton Inn, a quaint, cozy family-owned restaurant. Then we headed to Bass Pro where we gawked at the snakes, turtles, ducks and fish; "toured" pontoon boats on the showroom floor and relaxed in rocking chairs in front of the massive stone fireplace before leaving for home.
Oriental food: $14.80. An evening together enjoying our son: priceless. Especially now.
