Will Skate for Tacos.

Saturday was Big Adventure day.
It rained a lot.
I ran 6 miles at sunrise with Kasey in the rain.
We moved the firewood pile from our driveway to the backyard in the rain.
Then we both became temporarily loco and thought it would be a grand idea to take the kids ice skating.

So we drove to Springdale in the rain.

I can't even ice skate without falling on my face, so I'm not really sure what possessed us to think our girls would be able to do it. But it was a perfect rainy day adventure, it was free, and in the end, we all had a great time.
(Quincy "ice skating")
The ice skating center is about 20 minutes south of here. My oh my. I used to think Springdale was a good for nothing little town that only existed to keep us further away from better shopping in Fayetteville.
I was wrong.
There is a Taqueria on every street corner!
We pulled up and stared at the window displays with eyes so big that it might as well have been a lingerie store. I even unrolled my window in the rain and told Aaron to just follow the tacos de cabesa smell.
There we so many options, we didn't know where to begin, so we just went to the one with the least amount of correctly spelled English words and the most cars in the parking lot. I don't care if you think I am racist. I had to get some tacos in me. If I'd wanted good spelling, I would have gone to the library for dinner.
This place won our hearts quickly, as there was a cape on the quesadilla graphic in the logo. I also think it was the magnetic draw of the word "Super".

I knew it was going to be magical when I walked in and saw like a zillion unsupervised children running around THIS on the table:
GREEN SAUCE.
One look at Aaron, he rolled his eyes and said, "go order everything on the menu that you feel like eating. We won't be back in Springdale for awhile....ok if it's good, we'll be back next Saturay."

It was good.
And yes, I took extra little green sauce container thingies home with me, and they are all gone already.

That night we went on a date which involved MORE food. Then later, we joined up with friends for free breakfast-for-dinner at Mimi's Cafe and ate even MORE food. 3 Dinners? Yes, please.
