Lots of Fun

The project that Nolan was working on yesterday was put on hold and since he didn't have much to do, he took the afternoon off and we went to Knott's. It was the perfect day to go, there were barely any lines, mostly school trips that were leaving when we got there. We picked up a pizza on the way and had a picnic with the chickens. But we forgot that naptime hadn't happened, so there were some problems with fussiness when it was time to get off some of the rides. Quick snacks helped and the double stroller with a spot for tired feet to rest helped too. Then as we were leaving the park, Nolan suggested eating at Mrs. Knott's Chicken Restaurant. We've never done that before because the line has always been so long, it's usually out the door and around the building. We walked right in and were seated right away. The jell-o on the kids menu was a hit with Keileigh, but the lack of naps had caught up with us and Nevan wanted to explore and Knut was upset because his chicken came with mashed potatoes and corn not french fries. Nolan said it was my Mother's Day dinner and I got to get whatever I wanted, so fish it was. I was the only one who got to eat all of their meal, but only because Keileigh fell asleep in my lap after drinking her milk and eating her jell-o. We had to load up the stroller and take everyone back to the van to go home and the cat naps were apparently sufficient that we had chatter coming from Keileigh and Knut. Nolan also remembered that there was a Metrolink station on the way home and we stopped to watch some trains pass by. A busy afternoon, but lots of fun.
