hello again! first of all thanks for all the feedback from my initial post! you guys are wonderfully positive and supportive.
it's been a craaaazzzzy "news" week, to say the least! what with all the "crouching tiger, hidden cheetahs" and white house-"crashergate" 72-hour news spin-cycle, it's been hard to focus...
i have always said that all knowledge is experiential - you don't know anything until you've had the chance to experience it. so i am always looking for new experiences for the crew (the kids). this past spring, i took the crew to benihana in anaheim.
in college (and after) benihana was my spot! love the flying knives, the food...and the mai tai's (in the ceramic buddha) ! WOOOOOO! i digress.... anywho, i did a cellphone photo blog of the "experience"....enjoy!
life experiences (or benihana w/ kids....)
took the fam to benihana in anaheim last night.... i thought the kids would enjoy the "experience" of watching someone cook on the table, and flip the utensils and what not.
the range of emotions i witnessed, in order, were:
bemusement - "look at his silly hat!"
amusement - "he can cook on the table! cool!"
amaze - "wow!"
interest - *no words* :-)
indifference - *talking amongst themselves*....
to....
"past my bedtime silliness"
this all happened in the span of time between the onion volcano (my favorite!) and the shrimp appetizer hitting trey's plate.
trey, looking at his plate, says, "i'm full!"
ms. lovechilde looks at me and says, "oh, don't worry, it will get eaten!" me: "i know that's right!!" **parents high five**
all in all, it was a great time and the kids did experience something different....
