The little man was hankering after frozen yoghurt after seeing both his older siblings get some on their dates, so... For the third time in three weeks, that's where I went. We went for a dip in the local pools first, which he enjoyed, but the highlight was by far the Froyo.
The enjoyment probably has to do a lot with picking out from the buffet of lollies available for the choosing; reminds me of the Pick N Mix my grandfather used to buy from 7-11 for us children to enjoy. The sour ribbons were the best, and still are.
Papa and I enjoyed the dates with the children this year, more so than we did last time round. We learned a little from our experience and put a blanket ban on Happy Meals as a date option. (Might need to ban Froyo next year!) It certainly pushed the children to get creative with their date ideas and we saw more active and sporting date options too.
They're already brainstorming ideas for our next set of parent/child dates, which must mean they at least enjoy this as much as we do.
3 weeks, 6 dates. It'll be a matter of time before our little lady joins in too. It's been a good run and we're grateful for the gift of time and opportunity to do this with our children.
