We had a great family weekend for a change, no birthday parties, etc. Saturday night we decided to go to Kids Night at the Zoo. We are members and really weren't sure what to think. We decided to go to somewhere fun for dinner and Jason mentioned the Twisted Root, where he had eaten with some work guys a few weeks prior. As Jason is ordering I noticed the big picture of Guy and realize it must have been featured on his show. I thought of my parents the entire time since this is one of their favorite shows. Our meal was good not great but I should of divulged in a burger instead of trying to be healthy. Here is a run down of what we got.
Jason - Blue Cheese & Buffalo Burger
Judie - Salad with a hamburger on top (see where I went wrong??)
Jack - Corn dogs
Cooper - Hot dog
To Share - "Fried Ride": ALL Fried Items Piled High in a Basket of Deliciousness (my only complaint is I wish it was fresher!, if I am going to waste the calories I want to do be HOT)
The kids enjoyed it and loved that we got a funky name when our order was ready, Jack is still talking about it. Ask Jack who we were but if you are dying to know it was Chef Morimoto! I am still trying to find the actual episode of the show so I can see what Guy tasted.
We enjoyed the zoo because there was hardly anyone there and the boys got to jump in a bounce house, make necklaces, and do all sorts of fun things. Now Dallas zoo isn't the best but I figure once we finally make it to Fort Worth the kids will be amazed! We all sweated our booties off hopefully making up for what we ate at dinner! This was the third time to the zoo over the past 2 months and I think we have about got our moneys worth.
Throw in a surprise shower for a friend on Friday and a mini high school reunion on Sunday and it was a great weekend all around.
