Date night

Gavin and I had the best date night a few weekends ago. A friend set up a group date for go-karting, laser tag and mini golf. We had so much fun! It's been so long since I've done any of those things. And I've never done them with Gavin so it was extra fun. It was a busy night so we couldn't all ride the go karts together so just the girls went first.

Here I am by the pink car of death that I got to drive.

The last time I did go-karts like this I think I was 14 or 15 years old and my dad took us. I remember it being super fun...those were not the feelings this time around however. Go-karting scared me silly! I didn't even enjoy it for the first 75% of the time. Whipping around corners, peeling out, skidding, pedal to the metal, on the verge of being out of control, need for speed, etc, are all feelings I AVOID when I drive! And then I'm trying to recreate them for fun and I'm supposed to enjoy it?! There was a little bit of disconnect there for me. Finally I chilled out a bit and by the last few laps I was actually having fun and was sad to stop. I wasn't at all surprised to see I was the slowest go-karter that round! I came out and told Gavin my experience and then he went in for his.

Gavin got a pink car too! He's number 6

When he came out (I think he was 2nd fastest in his round) he just grinned like a little kid and said, "I liked that 100% of the time!" Haha, I knew he would and was glad he liked it so much.

I did redeem myself a little bit by rocking it in Laser Tag. That is my favorite game! I love sneaking around and hiding out in corners and tagging people as they come by. I came in 4th! I was Ace and Gavin is Legend. Notice how I got him 3 times and he got me none? What a nice guy. In my defense I only shot him once on purpose (where I knew it was him). The other times he was probably far away and I didn't know who I was shooting.

We had so much fun but didn't end up making it to mini golf. Oh well. Next time!
