Friday Night Fun

So if any of you were not aware, Chic-fil-a is the place to be on Friday nights between 6p-8p.
I was trying to think of something fun to take the kids to do last night that would not be too stressful on me since I was alone! They wanted to go to Chic-fil-a so that they could play. I thought that was a brilliant idea since that is my favorite fast food place.
We get there and it is crowded to the max. There is a balloon artist walking by (which my first thought was "oh great and I don't have any cash on me, and the kids are going to want a balloon and I am going to have to look like the bad guy and say NO"). As we get closer to the counter to place our order, there is a table with a sign "Free Sundae's". I begin to realize--we have just stepped into FRIDAY FAMILY FUN NIGHT AT CHIC-FIL-A.
We place our order sit down to eat, and we watched this balloon guy make some of the funkiest balloon hats. They were soo cool!! There was a boys soccer baseball team that came in to just get the free ice cream. The balloon guy made a hat that was the craziest thing. It was a circle for his head, and then a ton of balloons just coming off it. It was about 8 feet in diameter when he was done. Oh, and get this--the balloons were free.
While we waited for the balloon guy to make it to our table, we enjoyed a free scoop of ice cream with our choice of toppings. The kids really enjoyed this (I even did!)
The balloon guy finally makes it to our table. Beau was so cute. He not once asked to go slide--he was having too much fun watching the balloons. He was sitting in his chair with his little elbows on the table and his face in his hands being so patient. I told the girls to ask for something funky (because this guy had a very creative mind for balloon art).

Aubrey asked for a "Funky Hat"

Beau just wanted a "Hat"

And Anna asked for a "Crown"




So if you ever need a place to go on a Friday night that the kids will love and it won't break the bank....go to FRIDAY FAMILY FUN NIGHT @ CHIC-FIL-A.

P.S. Next time we go, I will be sure to have some cash so I can tip the guy--he was amazing and great with the kids!!
