Mother-Son Date Night at Chik-Fil-A

 I love Chik-Fil-A! They have good food, they are a Christian company, and they have fun activities. Recently, they hosted a mother-son date "knight." I reserved my spot way ahead of time, Chik-Fil-A events get filled up pretty quickly. Connor ended up with pneumonia, so Brandon and I went without him to this special event. (don't worry, Connor got souvenirs, and a date with Mommy at a later date.)

 The them of the evening was "knights in shining armor". There was a balloon artist there who made swords and shields, among other things, for all the boys.

 Brandon and I enjoyed our meal as well as the table decorations and fun suggested by Chik-Fil-A. We had a shield that we could color and design with our own coat of arms. We also had a list of mother-son questions to answer that mostly had to do with what heroism is and what makes a hero. The candle holder was a crown which we could take with us when we left.

I forgot my camera that night....grrrr....so all these photos are courtesy of the Chik-Fil-A employee who took them for their Facebook page.

The Chik-Fil-A cow was there and had plenty of sword fights with the little boys. Brandon enjoyed shaking his hoof and chatting with him.

Brandon waits patiently for his gift to Connor, a red set of balloon knight equipment. This little girl who was at Chik-Fil-A jumped in front of everyone else waiting and demanded a pink cat. It was quite funny (sad) how badly behaved she was, but I was proud of Brandon and the other boys for not complaining and for waiting patiently.

It was a really fun night (knight) and I am so thankful that I was able to take Brandon. Time spent one-on-one with each of my kids is precious. These growing years go way too fast!
