Fun Family Activity

So when Mike was growing up, they would have this activity where they would go to the store and each get $ 2 to spend toward a dinner for the whole family. Then everyone would combine their "winnings" to have a fun and random dinner. Some of their creations were a box of cereal, mac & cheese, and the like.

Mike decided that we would take our $3 each and go to Harmon's last night for dinner. It sure was fun!

So, here's our spoils. We ended up spending $3.30 each, but overall, it was a pretty healthy dinner!

Our plates were so full, we ended up not eating everything.
Thanks, Mike for a great tradition!

Edited to add: It has been brought to my attention that I need to label the items:
Mike: All beef hot dogs, crescent rolls (to make pigs in a blanket) (yes, that is ketchup and mustard next to it on my plate: the best condiments are a combination of the two...at least for pigs in a blanket)
Mandi: pears and string cheese
Mitchell: 2 small logs of pepperoni (standard fare for this 12 year old)
Austin: yogurt (he's a genious, what can I say)
Rachel: peaches and fruit leather (who still loves fruit leather? Me, that's who!)

I am impressed because most of it looks pretty healthy.

Our would be closer to Mentos, chips and diet coke.

I like it! I'm going to institute that for our family, now that Brad and Kyra live here.
