Dave and I watched Jonny's two youngest boys, Thomas and J, for four nights, from July 30 to August 2, 2025, while Jonny and Jenny took Sam and Henry on a vacation to Costa Rica. Camille and Mia tended Thomas and J during the day. We took the boys to dinner at different restaurants each night, and we also stopped by the LDS Church Museum of History, which has a children's room with interactive exhibits. It was a pleasure to get to know these cute, smart, very active little boys better.
The first restaurant we tried was Chuck-a-Rama, a buffet which we thought would be kid friendly. Thomas and J played together as they ate their fries and fried chicken. Next time, we put each one on a separate side of the booth!
The soft ice cream machine was irresistible to Thomas and J. They operated it themselves, usually landing the ice cream in the cone!
Another favorite restaurant was Texas Roadhouse. The western music was loud and catchy, the chicken tenders and mac'n'cheese were great kid food, and we devoured several rounds of hot rolls and honey butter before our entrees arrived.
One of Thomas' favorite foods is meatballs, so we checked out the meatballs at Spaghetti Factory. J thought they were pretty good, but Thomas gave thumbs down. "They were too big," he said. We will remain on our quest for the perfect meatball!
There was a kids' playroom near Spaghetti Factory. Thomas enjoyed stacking these blocks and then crashing them down.
One of our duties was getting the boys up, bathed, dressed, and delivered to Camille's house in the mornings. Froot Loops was the breakfast of choice, although I did convince Thomas to try fresh grapefruit. "Sour is my flavor," he told me, although he decided he liked the sour part of grapefruit, but not its actual taste!
