Four Square rules the night

Tonight had to be one of the most fun nights I've had in a while. It started very innocent plan of going to eat Mexican food with the Mingees. This has become quite a tradition with them and we always seem to joke about eating the Mexicans. Well after our last trip we realized that our beloved restaurant had a B sanitation grade! So tonight we attempted to try Fiesta Mexicana Restaurante Mexicano (yes that is the real name, hence the reason we thought it would be fun to try it). Once we get there (with our coupon) we realized they were not open and after many attempts to pick a new place to eat we settled for our B grade restaurant where we meet 2 of our other friend couples. (FYI: they have since been upgraded to an A, which we were relieve to find out!)

Dinner was normal and very fulfilling. We then go through the painful process of deciding what to do next. Gary Snuffin (yes that is his real name) played his normal teacher role in telling everybody to sit quiet and think for 30 secs. on something we could do. I'm laughing so hard at this point that I'm crying. The boys then get the bright idea to travel to Wal-mart to see what kind of games we can find to play outdoors. After mauch persuading and compromises, we decide on a kickball. We travel back to our house where the boys pull out the duct tape and make a four square court. At first it was all pretty normal, until they decided to make up stupid rules. We played several rounds where we had to make animal sounds or name state capitals. The boys (ages 22-25) have now become obsessed and play for 3 hours straight, making up dumb new rules. The girls got tired of playing and ran to Starbucks and they were still playing. They then made us play couple four square; I'm telling you they were obsessed. I have to admit it was all pretty hilarious and we all worked off our dinner calories from laughing so hard.

I needed a night like this...so many times I get bogged down with being an adult that I forget what it is like to be a kid. It's nice to cut up and enjoy myself and not be in charge of someone. Let's all go back to being kids, uh?
