Red Robin........Yum!

Whenever Red Robin is mentioned Rylie sings the theme song....."Red Robin.........YUM!" It's pretty funny.

Also, you know Robin from Batman and Robin......well since Owen could talk he has always referred to Robin as Red Robin and now Katelin does the same thing. He has a Robin figurine and it's always "i'm playing with red robin" ......too cute!

So those are my happy Red Robin stories, now I will share a very unhappy Red Robin story.............

Tuesday night Chet, I and the kids went to Red Robin. We didn't realize it was kids night so just a bonus right? Free milkshakes, a lifesize Red Robin walking around and balloon animals! Fun, right?

Red Robin was nice enough, even got a picture..............

Not the best pic, it was taken with a cell phone. You can see Katelin not wanting to get too close, i'm actually surprised she got that close.

Milkshakes were yummy! I asked if Evan got one and the waiter said "Yes".....so score for Mommy because Evan can't have it and it was definitely Yummy!

So what could have gone wrong? The balloon guy! He kept walking towards our table and the kids would get excited and he would walk on by, very intentionally looking away as he walked by. OK, no big deal.....he had other tables who had been waiting longer, we would get our turn. Well after quite a few times of skipping over us, we started to get a little irritated. Our food was gone, check was paid and we were about ready to go. Then he walks past us, to a table with 2 adult women with no kids and starts making balloon animals for them. OK, now my blood is boiling! It's not like my kids were misbehaving or being loud or anything. They were sitting calmly and quietly in the booth patiently waiting for their turn.

Now neither Chet or I are confrontational people, we usually let things go and don't make a big deal out of them. We had been here one other time when this same balloon guy was there and while he did make balloons for us, we found him to not be too friendly. So we said something to the people up front but chose not to speak to the manager. They assured us that they would let him know. Now 3 days later.....I am still so mad about the whole deal and wish I had spoken to the manager and may even call back up there. I feel it was complete and total disrespect to my kids. To skip over a table with 4 kids to make balloons for 2 women.
So now I have vented. I don't know if we will go back there on a Tuesday night again. I think I would almost prefer to drive out to the one on 135th street.
