Day with Daddy

Chris was able to come home last weekend. It was a short trip but we made the most of our time!

Probably a year or two ago, I cut an article out about a place you can cook your own pancakes because I though it would be fun to try out.

So Saturday morning, we got up and headed to Berry Hill near the 100 Oaks Mall to try out the Pfunky Griddle. It was great! The food was very good and the kids loved it.

They designed each of the tables with a grill in the middle. If you order pancakes, you get a pitcher of 5 grain batter and a pitcher of regualar batter and one topping to go on it. Pancakes are all you can eat.

They give you each a plate and a spatula.


Then you cook it all yourself on the griddle.

Ladybug and I both ordered French Toast. They brought us a plate with the coating in a bowl and big thick pieces of bread all around it. So we dipped them and then put them on the griddle.

Our waitress made Batman a mickey mouse pancake. He ordered chocolate chips as his topping.

Ladybug had the best time.

The Pfunky Griddle was in a renovated house and all along the street were businesses in houses. We found two more to stop in to visit.


The bird store! Ladybug loves birds. She made a bird book in school and is always pointing out birds and saying, look a robin, look a speckled worrbler! Well the store had bird feeders set up outside so there were birds and squirrels every where. So we went in to visit and came out with a birdfeeder, a gallon of bird food and her very own bird book that names all the birds of Tennessee and color coordinates them for her.

Here are the kids with their purchases.

Daddy hung up the bird feeder in the back yard. The first couple of days we didn't see much action but when we got up on Tuesday morning, the food was half gone! We can peek outside now and see birds eating on the perches and ones on the ground getting everything that drops.

Then we found a homemade dog food store. Well, they make dog treats. We had one of these in Collierville that we would stop in.



We picked out a couple of the bigger treats and then filled up a little bag of dog biscuits made with chicken and peanut butter and other stuff. I used to have a bunch of recipes to make dog biscuts and we may have to pull them back out and make some with the kids. They just absolutely love the dogs this summer. Batman wakes up in the morning, takes his pj's off and makes a bee line for the back door to pet Raven.

Then we headed to Home Depot to purchase our 3rd doggie door in 6 years. Shadow tore up the door again trying to get in last week while I was mowing the grass.

Then we all went to see Toy Story 3. This week I got Toy Story 1 and 2 from netflix and the kids and I watched them (Actually Daddy got to see #2 on Friday night as well). What a fantastic movie. All three of them were so enjoyable and the kids loved it. My only (semi) complaint was the fact that it cost the four of us $29 to go see a early movie!


We installed the doggie door and had a nice evening before he had to head back out on Sunday.
