Chick-fil-a

So I did it. My sister-in-law posted about how Chick-fil-a was offering free food to those who dressed up like cows on Friday only. I took the kids swimming and afterwards came home, dressed everyone in black, white, or brown, taped spots on them, made them hat bands with ears and horn, and headed to Chick-fil-a with my friend, Mandy and her three children.

I was a little surprised. I figured I would walk into the store and they would roll their eyes at a pregnant mom and four children in for free food. Instead, they all started clapping, took our picture, and let us order whatever we wanted. It was fun. I was glad Mandy came with me, a little support, and a great person to hang out with.


Taneal and Camie were actually embarrassed. They wouldn't drive around in our mini-van with their ear and horn hats on. They ducked their heads in the parking lot and held that little grin like "this is fun but a little embarrassing." They were great troopers, enjoyed their free lunch with a real soft drink instead of water, and had fun on the play equipment afterwards.


Thanks Chick-fil-a and Gerberta for a free lunch and the fun that came with dressing up like cows!

Steph, you are AWESOME! I wish I could say I did it, too. My friend Trish and I wanted to but...life happened, I guess.

Good job, Mom! At the pool, the kids told me how excited they were to dress up. After coming home, Macey asked if we could do it too, but I wasn't brave enough. Kudos to you!
