picking up kids turned into a date instead

So Friday night Dave and I were supposed to go pick up the kids at 7:30. Long story short we ended up goofing around at temple square, the kid's flight was canceled. We were really upset not only because we didn't get to see the kids now until Sat morning now but that also meant that we had to drive another hour and a half back to Dugway that night and then do it again at the crack of dawn then  drive BACK to dugway again...to spend the precious hours of the day with the kids and then return them to the airport at 6:30am which meant we had to leave here by 5:00am Sunday morning... So we turned this event into a date instead, which worked out well because Dave had asked me (yes, he's still got it...he ASKED me) out on a date for Thursday night but, the only resuraunt on post was closing in 5 min when we got there. So our date existed of cuddling on the couch playing one of our favorite video games, uncharted, and watching scrubs (which we do every night before bed). It was fun but not really the date we had planned so anyway back to this date...
It started on the way to the airport, we have a favorite place to eat in Tooele, its this local burger place called American Burgers
ITS SOOOOOO GOOOD!!!! We love it! They have amazing fries (which we ate before I could take a picture of them) and the best, I'm not kidding, burgers ever!
mmm yummy! Since we rarely go out anymore, I cook at home a ton, we figured it was okay to splurge... so we did!
Then we drove to Salt Lake thinking that we were picking up the kids for their delayed flight coming in at 11 instead of 7:30. So we thought of the idea to go see the Joseph Smith movie at the liberty theater to pass some time. We didn't make it, we got there at 7:25 and they said we need to be early, at this point we still needed to find parking...which we did! Dave is the MASTER parallel parker, considering he never really had to learn look where he fit our cute car!
We then got a phone call and found out the kids flight was canceled and they are coming first thing the next day.Anyway so we walked around temple square. It had been a little while since we've been there. In one of the visitor's centers they have a model of the SLC temple. You can see all the rooms in great detail. It was so amazing! Dave had also never been to the Joseph Smith building to see the view of the temple from there...so we went and I took this beauty!




here are a few more pictures from our adventure!






We had so much fun together! Oh I love him so much!

Aw, you guys look so happy. :)

Are you often in Tooele? There's a high chair someone is selling there that I want way bad, but I don't want to drive so far to get it...
