Mmm...hippo

Most Sundays we are blest to enjoy an evening out of the house. After prepping the house for bedtime we "go on an adventure". Our adventure usually involves running an errand, playing at a park, making a visit at Pinks, & going out for dinner. It's a nice way to make MY Sunday more of a day of rest!

Last weekend we enjoyed dinner at the Parthenon. Tasty Greek viddles. My favorite part was the chocolate flogeras... basically baklava dipped in chocolate & rolled in almonds. Hard.to.share. ;P Because of our semi-regular weekly adventure, our kids usually do pretty well in restaurants. This time was over the top, though. Instead of ordering their standard cheese pizza or alfredo noodles, we got a little crazy & had them get a chicken gyro plate. DEVOURED IT! Then they wanted to try everything on my plate & Darren's too! Even Teresa was enjoying the pita bread, klitharaki, gyro toppings, & greek potatoes. She was also grooving to the Greek music in her high chair. =] Here are some of my favorite quotes from the night.

Andrew: So, I've eaten cow, pig, chicken, & now sheep. What other animals can I eat? Can I eat a hippopotamus?

Rebecca: Are these real plants or toy plants?

Darren: If you like Chicago-style pizza, try our Chicago-style hippo nuggets.

Andrew: Wow, this sauce (tzatziki) is definitely better than Ranch!
