Staycation: Day 1, Red Robin and Children's Museum

After naptime at our house, which didn't really work out as planned since the kiddos weren't really in the sleeping mood, we went to Red Robin in Factoria for dinner. Eric's birthday was Thursday and Brandon's was that day (Friday) and we wanted them to be embarrassed by the RR employees singing to them. Also, Eric had a coupon for a free burger.

Kaylin decided that it was better on the other side of the booth with the Greens. Or maybe she just really wanted some of Brandon's fish and chips. For those of you who know Kaylin's eating habits, YES, she ate some of Brandon's fish. Shocking.

After dinner, we headed through the ghost of a mall to the children's museum. The children's musuem at the Factoria Mall is free from 5-8 on Friday nights (are you noticing a theme here?). Kaylin still insisted on holding Carter's hand. I'm sure we'll be able to black mail them with these pictures someday.













In case you thought it was just the kids having fun, here are some pictures of Eric.

While Eric was sitting down a little boy asked him to come put on a puppet show. Too funny.

Eric also enjoyed the gears.

After the children's museum we all headed back to our house for the night. The plan was for the adults to play games while the kids slept, but we were all too tired. Instead we just watched tv and had some snacks. All 4 Greens decided to sleep in the same room. We slept great that night... I'm not so sure about them.

I need to tell Anna Marie about the Children's Museum at Factoria. She loves to take Gwen to places like that. We went with them to Build a Bear once, and it was so fun watching the kids pick out the bears and parts, etc.

I love the free-Friday children's museum thing... we have done that before and the kids loved it! Our kiddos love Red Robin - we have dinner at the one at the landing from time to time (I think Travis likes their burgers, too!) cute pics :)
