My husband and I recently went on a date foraging for wild plums. On a separate night we made wild plum jelly to give as gifts this Christmas. One of the best dates ever. We have also gone hunting and fishing. Perfect dates.

This reminds me of our dates. We don't get a chance to go without the kids much but when it happens we usually just go grab some ice cream and bring it home. One of my favorite "dates" was a few years back when the kids were smaller. It was late when we got home and they had fell asleep in the car. The crickets were singing and it was such a peaceful night out. We live out in the country so the stars were bright and nothing but nature sounds. We opened the windows and the back hatch & let the kids sleep. We sat on the front porch and talked all night long. Talked about things we usually don't bring up because life is so hectic that they really don't seem important. Next thing we knew the sun was starting to rise and so were the kids. We were both tired throughout the next day but it was well worth it to have that time to talk & dream & reflect on everything. Its a favorite memory for us! So simple but so special!
