Hey Chick-fil-A…….Thanks!

Every so often a company will have a Military Appreciation event and tonight, it was Chick-fil-A. Dinner was on them, if you showed your military ID. So, I packed up the kiddos and we headed to our local Chick-fil-A location. When we pulled up (3 minutes after the event started) there was a line out the door and around the parking lot. I don’t like lines, so I wasn’t sure if we were going to stay, but they had a great set-up with music and a bouncy house for the kiddos, not to mention their mascot cows working the crowd and employees on the roof throwing cows in parachutes. Who wouldn’t stay?! The line actually went quickly and the kids spent the time in the jumpy while Luke-Xavier and I enjoyed the music ( I wish I could tell you what band was playing because they were great). Employees were walking the line, making sure people were registered and that they knew that there was a tent set up with pre-boxed dinners, if you didn’t mind chips instead of fries. Many people seemed to enjoy getting out of the line and taking advantage of the fast option. My kids wanted fries, so I stayed in line and made it, painlessly, to the front. The guy who took my order did a great job of being kind and patient! This was not easy to do, because my order kept changing. Imagine ordering for 10 people, in the midst of a few hundred, while the kids kept changing their minds! Seriously, Beau….you did great! When the order came out, everything was correct, it was handed to me with a smile AND Chick-fil-A had donated over $50 worth of food!

To all the great people who were working the Sports Arena location tonight, Thank You for showing your support and enthusiasm for our troops and all the families. I appreciated the night off from cooking!

Have a great night~
