Cow Appriciation Day: A Review

Tuesday was Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-Fil-A.  My sister has gone for years, but my hatred of fast food, even free fast food, even free Chick-Fil-A fast food, has kept me away for years.  But this year, we went.  We decided to go for lunch.  Greg opted out of going.  

The good: 

*the kids had a great time dressing up.  Rex made his and Henry cow ears.  They were sooo excited and thought their little outfits were super cute.

*we got free food.  And not just any free food, whatever we wanted.  Each kid got a kids' meal and I got a chicken salad sandwich meal.  

*we even got balloon animals.

The bad:

*we went for lunch but it was CROWDED.  There was even a daycare there.  I don't meant to sound rude or insentive when I say the following rude and insensitive thing, but I really don't like daycare and generally avoid parks/libraries/pools or any other location that daycares go.  One daycare is six or more kids per one adult.  It's just too much for me.  

*we also had to eat outside because it was so crowded.  Eating outside wasn't the worst thing, in fact I really like eating outside.  I'm sharing this to illustrate how crowded it was.  

*after eating the kids wanted to play, but then Henry and Alice both just stuck at the top of the play structure so I had to climb up to get them.  Also there was a baby in there who had pooped a very nasty poop and her mom wasn't taking her out.  I almost leaned over and told the mom her baby was poopy.  Eventually the daycare provider said something and the mom took the uber stinky baby out.

*lastly, there were balloon animals.  I know I already said this.  The kids loved it.  But we had to wait in line for a long time and then, like all balloons, they popped.  It wasn't until the next day, but many tears were still shed.  I hate balloons.

Overall, maybe we'll go next year, maybe we won't.  We'll see how I feel next July 14.
