Date Night at the Derby!

We haven't ventured out on dates much since Ashlyn has been born. Actually, this was the second time we left her with a sitter that wasn't one of our parents. But so far it has been fine! We had a good time the other night with the Blues. I didn't even have my camera so I stole these pics from Allison..... (thanks Alli, hope you don't mind!) and sadly there are no pictures of the 4 of us together anyway... oh well. I swear we were all there.

Alli had scored some free tickets to the Treasure Valley Roller Girls. I have heard of them but of course never been to any sort of Roller derby..... even with my minimal expectations it turned out to be quite the dud. Granted, the girls were dressed incredibly skanky (and you know, the kind of uh, plus sizes that probably shouldn't be wearing those ripped fishnets under shorts as short and tight as underwear), but there were nowhere near the amount of catfights and pile-ups I was expecting! I haven't seen Whip It, but Alli has and she confirmred this wasn't what it's like in the movies! Oh well, what did we expect, this is Boise Idaho. And I think the team they were against was from Salt Lake City. SOO hard core. :) But hey, it was free and none of us had been! Now I can say I've been to one! And it was worth checking out!

We left after the first round in search of some food... ate at Pie Hole (my favorite next to Guido's in terms of local pizza!) and did some people watching and chatting on 8th street. Then we walked around for a while and found some awesome art on the wall, whatever you would call it, in an empty parking lot and up some alleys. I love finding things like that. This is why I love living in Boise.

Last but not least we went to Aspen Leaf, which Sam and Megan introduced me to a while ago and I love it! Every time we are down town we try to go! (which really, isn't that much these days with a kid!) If you haven't been to one of these self-serve frozen yogurt places I highly recommend. And you should come with me so I can use your purchase to punch my punch card! Just kidding. But really, it was super-delish. It was fun to catch up with our friends we don't see during wrestling off-season, and really won't see much this year since the hubbies aren't working together anymore! (*tear) We'll miss you at CHS, Blues! Thanks for being such great friends! And for the fun date night. wahoo!
