My friends laugh at me because of my favorite places to take the kids is to our local Chick-fil-A. We go quite often. It opened last summer and has an indoor play area. The staff is friendly and helpful (they clear my table for me!) and its always clean. We go there on Family night because the kids eat free and there's usually crafts and a magician. To top it all off they even offer free WiFi-though I never use it because I'm too busy with the kids.
It's the holy grail of Chick-fil-A's. I go there for the indoor play area, especially in the wintertime. It lets the kids get their sillies out while I soak up some me time on the other side of the mostly soundproof glass walls of the play area.
After running an errand after school, I knew I'd be home too late to cook dinner so off we went to our favorite place. It also didn't hurt that Chick-fil-A is offering new options for their kids meals. Now there's grilled chicken nuggets and all natural applesauce along the original fried chicken nuggets with a side of fries or fruit cup.
While Jaxson sucked up the applesauce and asked for more, Sophia was a bit wary of the applesauce. Why? It comes in a squeeze bag, and she's only eaten it out a jar or those single serving cups. I've seen those squeeze bags of fruit at the grocery store but never bought it. After I convinced to taste the applesauce (it took awhile), she loved it. Jaxson also ate more grilled nuggets at one sitting than he usually would with the fried ones. It was a win-win for us.
Whenever we go out for fast food, I feel slightly guilty. Sometimes fast food is just better for my sanity and I have to feed the kids. I think I'm going to feel less guilty about taking my kids to Chick-fil-A.
Anyone up for a play date at Chick-fil-A?
Photo from Chick-fil-A because by the time I remembered to take a photo, all the food was eaten. This not a compensated post. I paid for our food. Chick-fil-A has no idea that I'm writing about them.
