Sarah and the kids never complained too much about the long hours he worked to take care of their family. He was grateful for that. He felt guilty enough at times having to work so much. It would be even worse if he had that to hear as well. It would be nice to spend a rare weekend all together. No school and no work. It would be fun. He'd probably be as much of a kid as his own kids at the zoo. He had always enjoying going there when he was a kid himself with his own parents.<br/><br/>Adam nodded his head to his wife.<br/><br/>"We'll bring lots of extra batteries. You know Maggie will probably want to pictures of every animal we see."<br/><br/>He laughed when she joked that the kids were beautiful because of her. Playing along, he said.<br/><br/>"Well, of course. I mean, I'm an ogre over here."<br/><br/>Adam smiled when Sarah said she wanted to watch a show with him. He didn't watch too much tv himself, just about an hour or a night. Sometimes it was nice to just watch something to relax. It's not like he had time to really read books. As they got settled onto their couch, Adam wrapped his arm around Sarah's shoulders. Squeezing her shoulders when she let out her happy sigh. Their dates were never too fancy, they had two young kids and not a lot of money. Adam wondered when they got so old that date was watching television when the kids were asleep. Not that he minded, it was still nice.<br/><br/>Adam was watching a crime show, when a commercial came on. It was about auditions for cooking contest that would be filming in a city about an hour away from the town he and Sarah lived in. The winner of the contest would win a million dollars and a year contract with the Food Network.<br/><br/>"Wow, all that money would nice."<br/><br/>Adam commented to Sarah, think of all things they could do with a million dollars. For one, they could get a new couch and not sit on the same one they had had since Ben was born.
