A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

on
As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow.

Comments from a Florida Vacation...

on
I am sitting in the rental car in a strip mall parking lot in St. Petersburg, Florida. Andre is in a sushi bar grabbing us a very late lunch/early dinner. This vacation has taught us that restaurants aren't a place for toddlers, or at least not our very curious, running around all of the time, believing that everyone wants to meet her toddler. We tried eating out last night at Crabby Bills in Clearwater, Florida. After the soup, we had to take our food to go. At the hotel we realized that they neglected to give us our salad. I wonder how much food is left behind by weary parents??? We should have called the restaurant to ensure that we got a refund, but the bedtime routine distracted us... Oh well, it's our contribution to the Clearwater economy. I think I see Andre coming AND Sylvester is playing low on the radio (baby is napping). It's time to eat and jam!

Oh my goodness, we have all been where you are. my husband and I would live in fear of times when our extended family wanted to go to a restaurant to celebrate some special occasion. It meant taking turns walking the halls with fussy babies and toddlers!

At some point we just decided we weren't going to put ourselves and children through the dining out hassle. When we did go out, it was always a "kid friendly or family oriented"

Sorry to hear you didn't get your salad, for some reason to go orders are almost always skimpy and something gets left behind.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation.
