Cow Appreciation Day!

Did you go to Chi-fil-a's Cow Appreciation Day? We did for lunch and it was so much fun! I was surprised at how "into it" Justin was. He eagerly put on his ears, horns, tail, spots and sign. He was super cute! I craftily made "cow costumes" for each of us out of everyday items around our home. I also printed ears and noses from the Chi-fil-a website to complete our look. Our tails were made of white yarn, braided and knotted, and added to our belt loops.

We had a surprisingly wonderful time as a family. The food was great and free! The Chic-fil-a staff was fabulous. It was just a pleasant outing for us! Below are pictures of other"cows" at Chic-fil-a. Justin also received some laughs, but he was okay with it. One of which was in the drive thru so I took her picture. And, she took our picture with her cell phone. So funny! Justin was such a hit that a small boy came over to pet him! Watch out, next year will be even bigger!

Thank you, Justin, for making everything so much fun! Love you!
