Family FUN!!!

Friday afternoon we did something we RARELY do--but it was a BLAST!! I took the kids over to Meridian and ran a few errands and then we met Troy for lunch and went to his favorite place----Red Robin!!
The kids thought it was the COOLEST place ever---they LOVED it and they were VERY GOOD too---which made it nice!!

We got to our table and the kids thought it was soooo cool that they gave each of them their own crayons and place mat to color on!! Tyler LOVED the TVs and watched them most of the time. Brandon and Kara had fun coloring, Emily had fun eating her crayons (yummy), and Brooke quietly sat in her car seat and just looked around at all the craziness!! The nice thing about Red Robin is it is a pretty fun and easy going atmosphere for kids--you don't feel like you have to keep your kids totally quiet!!

We were eating our food and just having a great little time and this cute little couple came walking over to our table and asked if 'ALL' these kids were ours-(she didn't even see Brooke on the other side of me in her car seat!) Then the cute lady asked which ones were twins---she couldn't believe they were so close and not twins!! Then they gave us the NICEST compliment!! They told us that our kids were very well behaved and they were impressed with how well mannered they had been. The cute little man said that they had been watching our family the entire time they ate--(I thought to myself-'Oh Great!') They told us we had a cute little family and very well behaved children!! I do have to say--our kids were being very good---I was happy---because it is sooo embarrassing when they act like animals in public!!

We had a TERRIFIC time--Troy had NO work calls, there no screaming fits, we were in no hurry, and the kids LOVED the food. As we were walking out---Tyler asked if we could go there again and next time--he wanted to tell the waiter he wanted a grilled cheese---not have me tell him!! Funny, independent Boy!!

I am a little bummed---I left my camera in the car--so I took a couple with my cell phone and they are NOT very good---plus they all wouldn't download---dang it!!
