Random Summer Tidbits...cont.

1.Yes, we did in fact participate in "Cow Appreciation Day."  We printed our costumes off of the Chick-Fil-A website, and enjoyed over $30 of delicious food.  That's right.  Just dress like a cow and you get free meals, free size upgrades, free kids meals, free milkshakes (have mercy)....oh, and of course they have coupons and games where you can win MORE free stuff for future trips.  I heart CFA.  Patrick may or may not have pitched a bigger fit than the kids and needed all forms of bribery to participate.  Pictures of him may have been forbidden, and he may have later admitted to having a blast and being willing to do it again.  Oh, and I may have enjoyed putting spots on my baby's backside...she wouldn't keep them on the front.































2.This is a nightly routine at our house these days.  When daddy gets home, he takes the girls out to collect our daily vegetable harvest, and they gorge themselves on tomatoes while I finish dinner.





I love watching those little hands devour this home grown goodness.















3.  Just a few shots of my baby in all her "sweet hat/ baggy bloomers" cuteness.  






4.  A few weeks ago, we joined our friends, Faris and Camille, and their boys, Luke and Nolan at Watkin's Park.  We looked at the animals...

Rode a pony...well, Luke did.  Adeline was having an afraid of my shadow day decided not to ride.

We all enjoyed the carousel and the train.  You can check out Camille's blog for more pictures of the day.

5.  All this summer fun is just exhausting!

I'm so bummed we don't have a Chick-fil-a closer - I would have been all over free food there! Looks like you're having a fun summer!

if i told you i am not a fan of chick-fil-a would you deblog friend me?

it is so expensive (though i love what their $ goes to), and nothing delights my pallet.

but your family does look ADORABLE all dressed up. what a fun mom you are.

Oh that picture of Camille as a cow is awesome -- so cute! I wish we could eat more at Chick-Fil-A, but Dave and I can only doit when the kids are in bed or if we're out by ourselves, since everything is cooked in peanut oil. :( At least we have one in our town now!
