February 18, 2023 - Saturday

Dang, we're really using our memberships the last couple of days! haha Granted, the two I used before today were ones I bought just that day, but still. The point is, we went to the zoo today. We met the Shauls there and hung out for a few hours. Kylienne was ice cold when we first got together and after about 20 minutes I had to pull her aside and ask if everything was ok. She acted like she wasn't really going to answer and then she said she's just really pissed at Travis. And, yeah, I get it. It's hard to be out, hanging out with another family, when you kind of want to smother your spouse. But she did warm up after that, thankfully.

We didn't do much this morning, nothing of note anyway. It's our screen-free day, so we try to refrain from using phones or watching TV until after dinner. BUT, after we got home from the zoo, we had Jonas watch the girls so that Ben and I could go on a very short date. It's the first time we've had him do this for real for real and it went really well. I mean, Ben and I were a little nervous about it, but it went fine. We were only gone for one hour. We just got some dinner at Rusty Bucket and then ran into Giant Eagle for some kid dinner supplies. Clemi helped a lot with watching Ollie too. It was good! Hopefully we can try again in a week or two. I don't want to replace Maria with Jonas just yet, but it's good to have another option.
