Out to Lunch

After the museum, John's mom offered to take everyone out to lunch. We picked Friendly's, a sit down family restaurant. When we got there and told the people that we needed a table for 2 adults and 8 children, with a high chair and 4 booster seats, I think they thought we were crazy. Frankly I was beginning to think we were crazy. And the waitress kept saying how brave she thought we were. Another lady offered to give us her wild kids. I thought, Don't you think we have enough already. But I'm glad to say this is a story with a happy ending. The kids were good, angelic really, and they ate all their food. A couple came up to us and said they were the best behaved group of kids they'd seen in a long time, that they didn't even know they were there, and they were sitting across the aisle from us. I have to say Pam and I did a pretty good job of getting their orders and stuff, but the kids really were good. They had a lot of fun, and, since all the meals at Friendly's come with ice cream, they all left happy. Some of them ate so much food, I'm not sure where they fit it all. Here's some pictures of the good kids. It's nice to have well behaved kids every once in a while.

The strawberry and chocolate milk options in the kid meals were big hits with everyone.

Adam ate a whole cheeseburger by himself. He worked on it for about a half hour and even passed up ice cream to finish it. It must have been good.

The crayons and coloring menu were also popular and kept the kids busy for quite a while.

And the ice cream made everyone happy. It was a great lunch. I know I came home full.

Happy girls!!
