My daughter, Emmerson, is entering a really fun age. Now, instead of me sitting at a play-place  eating French fries and watching her make friends while  I small chat with the other moms, dads, and occasional grandmas and grandpas, we like to “go one dates” together.  This simply means we go somewhere that we can sit down, chat, and share a meal together and eventually try to catch a cheap movie.

This summer, she has big plans since we are both off. I, being a teacher, get to spend my summer with my two beautiful children. Since I am not made of money, I, like most parents out there, need to pinch where I can. I have composed a short list of places I can take Emmerson on a “date” and not break the bank since she will eat for free in the Evansville, Henderson, and Owensboro area.
