We bowled, ice skated, safari-ed, and ate at a Cleveland Heights restaurant -- all courtesy of half-off internet discount packages that Ginger had researched in advance.
The best of the quartet was probably the African Safari where we fed carrots to domesticated deer as we drove around in a circle. It sounds a little lame writing it down, but the kids loved it.
The second best GroupOn was the Mad Greek restaurant and these two words that were part of the deal: "dessert included." We downed cake and ice cream like it was our first time ever. One was baklava ice cream and the other was chocolate chip cake and ice cream.
The kids also seized every chance to play ping pong on my old table in the basement. In one week, Aubrie added a backhand to her repertoire and Aidan mastered a low, fast serve. At my friend Vinay's house, Ginger and I also faced off for our first ever match after 13 years of marriage. I won't say who won, but feel free to go by the stereotypes.
With ye ye and nai nai, we packed in a lot of stuff, including watching a movie by Growing Pains star Kirk Cameron. Maybe next year, the waterfall will be just a little bit warmer. But we're not complaining.
