As an early birthday present to Melinda, I babysat her children for an hour or two last weekend. I was a little apprehensive about this task since I needed to spend some time preparing for a practical. However, I kept calm and carried on.
So, I packed the girls into my car and we went to Chick-Fil-A. The Chick-Fil-A in Boiling Springs has a nice play place. The girls enjoyed going down the slide, climbing on the playplace, and eating their chicken.
As usual, the girls were well behaved, but play time never comes without some kind of conflict when there are two girls involved. For a kids meal toy, there was a booklet of origami animals*. There was a cat, dog, rabbit, parrot and pig**. They increased in difficulty as the book went on. By the time I folded the easier dog and cat, I was running out of patience for the pig and parrot. So when both girls were beginning to want the same origami pig I was working on, I decided it was probably time to go home.
All in all, it was a great time playing at Chick-Fil-A, but next time there is origami in a kids meal, I am telling the children that they are pictures.
*Some folding required
