Playland 2 Kids 0

This evening the school put on a Secret Santa Shop. They've actually had it two other school days this week, but this one was in the evening so that parents could bring their kids in instead of sending money to school. So, we took Caleb and Lorelei so they could each pick out presents for mom and dad. Which was a tad difficult since we were all in the same room and neither of the kids is good at keeping a secret.

After we were done, the car sort of had a mind of it's own and we ended up taking a sort of aimless drive even though we hadn't had dinner yet. As we were meandering to nowhere I spotted a burger king with a playland. BINGO!

Took the kids in and let them play for a good 45 minutes while we ate. Caleb, for whatever reason, was NOT hungry tonight. Lorelei on the other hand ate really good. Perhaps it's her turn for a growth spurt? While the kids played George and I decided we'd take a drive around afterwards in some of the fancy neighborhoods and look at Christmas lights.

After a bit of a detour down the wrong set of streets to get somewhere residential we found a nice big subdivision with lots of houses in the holiday spirit. The kids enjoyed it for about 15 minutes and then it was pretty much, "can we go home now?".

On our way home -- they both fell asleep.
