Chick-fil-a Rocks!


I just have to talk about Chick-fil-a. I always knew it was a fast food chain that just serves chicken, but until I went a few weeks ago with some girlfriends, I had no idea it's such a great family oriented place! Now I take Derek every week. First off they are the cleanest restaurant EVER! Second, they have baskets on the walls called 'Mother's Baskets'. These baskets include complimentary diapers, wipes, Cheerios, band aids, and hand sanitizing wipes. Are you kidding me? How great is that! They also provide your child with a disposable place mat... these disposable place mats aren't cheap either; if you buy them at the store they're about $6 for only 10 of them. They have the cleanest play area too... indoors, climate controlled, and air sanitizers so it smells nice.

So getting to my story... Every Tuesday night they have what they call Family Night. From 5:00-8:00 pm they have some type of activity going on, and with the purchase of a combo meal, you get a free kids meal! AND, something I learned tonight is if you turn your toy back in from the kids meal, you get a free ice cream cone. Nice! Tonight's activity was a Reptile Show. They had a reptile guy and lots of reptiles outside on the patio. Derek loved it! The kids were able to touch and hold the snakes, turtles, lizards and all kinds of other reptiles. It was great. This guy does birthday parties too. I'm already thinking it would be great for Derek's 3rd birthday in May. I only wish I brought the camera!

Anyway, that's my rave about Chick-fil-a... What a great place to entertain your child for an hour! But the best part of all is this... I was drying Derek off after his bath tonight and he said, "Tank you for chick-fil-a momma, and tank you for snake!" That made my night! He is putting together sentences so well! I'm one proud mom!

Aaawww! I love the "tank you's" he told you! I'm glad that he liked the reptile guy. Too bad we didn't go. It really is such a GREAT place to eat and take your kids. It is even better than some sit down restaurants.

I never knew that about turning in your toy to get an ice cream. Good to know. Thanks!
