Family date night

I had the great idea we show go out to a Japanese restaurant where they cook in front of you. The girls will love it. Right? 

Wrong. 

When the chef started, he made a fire

On the grill. Cool. Right? 

Wrong! Lola screamed a terrifying scream I've never heard before and Greta cried too. Then every time there was smoke Lola got nervous and said "ooo, hot. Smoke. Mama." And cried a little. 

Greta liked it a little but didn't overly love it. By the end she warmed up a little and used her chop sticks. 

All in all my fun experience turned into getting the girls to not cry in shear terror. 

Here's to a better family date night next month.
