For the last couple of years, the kids and I have helped support a charity even that our church organizes. We bring in specific food donations and then put together gallon sized ziploc packages with specific items in it. Then those packages eventually make their way to kids that don't have any food to eat over the weekend when they are not at school. A great cause, and one that my kids really want to support. So I took Hilde and Enoch over to the church one Saturday morning. We dropped off the food donations and then had to come back an hour later to help assemble everything. The church is next door to a McDonalds. This meant that I took Hilde and Enoch to McDonald's for the very first time. They were so excited to go. What kid hasn't been to McD's? Maybe only mine. They were feeling pretty left out from popular culture. The main reason we didn't go to McDonalds was because when we lived overseas we made a commitment to eat English food and not to stop at an American food place when traveling in Europe. On the base there was a Burger King which we did eat at occasionally, options were very limited on base. And we do eat Fast Food occasionally, but we normally pick Chipotle, Wendy's, Potbelly, Subway, Noodles, things like that. And what was the verdict? They had fun, but were a little underwhelmed. They would, however, like to go there for lunch sometime.
