A Trip to MAC-Donald's

Last Friday the six kids and I headed to Nogales for an end-of-the-Swine-Flu-break treat. Ronald happens to be one of their favorite people (not for the food, not for the drinks -- definitely for the Play Place!) -- so we did a lunch date. :)

On the way there, Candi fell asleep -- and on the way back, Candi fell asleep. If she hadn't been stuffing fries into her mouth, she might have fallen asleep at McDonald's, too... ;)

I think she's starting to resemble a certain sister of mine...!

Diego in the red slide, and Jose in the yellow.
The kids -- of course -- hardly ever go down the slides without running up them first. This results in inevitable collisions, and lots of yelling. I'm sure the McDonald's people all breathed sighs of relief after we headed out... ;)

Nere (at left) with her Cajita Feliz (Happy Meal). All the kids had the option of choosing a bigger meal to get more food, but couldn't stand the thought of not getting a toy -- so they all got little kids' meals... :)
I don't know why I even asked, actually...

And (at right) Candi got her face painted like a kitten; apparently one of the girls who works at McDonald's gets paid specifically to do this job! So, as you can imagine, all six of my kids lined up and waited to get their faces painted...

Aaron (left) with his Batman face-painting, and Poncho (right) as a bunny rabbit sporting Ponch's habitual camera move.

No worries -- the Batman trio is here to save the day!
[Or the fries that have fallen on the floor... one of the two... ;)]

And -- this was our car-full on the way back... completely sacked out.
Which was nice... because then I had thirty minutes of free time while I was driving... :)
