Cupcake Wars

Have you ever watched the show Cupcake wars on Food Network?  Turn this show into your favorite at home date night.  This date night can be done with each other or with a group.  Create your own cupcake wars by buying a bunch of ingredients that would be fun to make into cupcakes.  Remember to get decorations as well to make it more fun.  Give yourself a theme and a time limit to cook 12 cupcakes.  Take the cupcakes over to a neighbors house at the end of the date, and have them judge the cupcakes according to: best taste, best use of theme, best appearance.  This date will have you using your creative side, and can be very fun!

Turn toward each other:
After the activity portion of the date, cuddle up in some blankets and watch cupcake wars on Netflix.  Spend time choosing your favorite cupcakes, and enjoying the show.

Love is a battlefield

While you don’t want your relationship to be an actual battlefield, you can battle it out on opposing teams or team up for a fun night of laser tag. 

From their website, “A two story 8,000 sq ft. deserted urban building that, houses a maze of barriers, barrels, radioactive materials and bases. As you work your way through, fog slowly creeps in as your eyes adjusts to the black lights and flashing sirens. You're armed with the latest advancement in futuristic military weapons; a 30th century laser gun with and an active pack which will update you on your progress throughout the mission. Your enemies move quickly and have the same armament as you, so be quick and decisive and make every shot count.”

Track21 is a great place to be a kid again.  After you finish a game of laser tag you can get in the driver’s seat and race around on of the three state of the art tracks.  These aren’t your kids go-carts, these are adult go-carts (you must be 16) high-performance GT-5 Sodikarts.

Relationship Reconnection

Take this time to talk about your dreams and goals in life.  Our spouses are not mind readers and don’t know what our dreams and goals are if we don’t talk them. By talking about our dreams and goals and the meaning behind them we can help each other achieve their dreams.
