This is how we spent cinco de mayo. See our lovely traditional outfits? Me neither. I just was not up to planning and cooking on that day. “Never fear,” I told me crew, “we’ll go out for a Mexican feast!” When it came time to go eat we had trouble deciding on a restaurant. We kept going back and forth between our favorites.
Then we remembered that Saturday kids eat free at Texas Land & Cattle Steak House. We love this restaurant! Unlike most kids eat free programs, Texas Land & Cattle allows two free kid’s meals for every one adult entree purchase. For a family like ours you just can’t beat it! Even though it wasn’t Mexican food it was still very special for the kids to be able to order their own meal (They almost always have to share.) and their own drink (They usually drink water.) Oh but wait; see the plate at the bottom of the picture? I did order nachos. Does that count?
For an additional $.50 each of the kids all enjoyed a yummy sundae as well.
And since we were celebrating, I ordered dessert too! Did you see my shirt? So festive right? Uh huh! It wasn’t our standard celebration, but it was fun anyway.
The kids all dressed in their Mexican dresses and guayabera on Sunday. I meant to take a picture. Really I did!
(I was not compensated in any way for this post.)

Glad you had a good time!
How fun! We used to have a Texas Land & Cattle where we live but sadly it closed. 🙁 Loved their food though!
Wow – what a size that desert is, you sure do things big in America!! Glad you had a nice meal out – sometimes it’s just good to have a break from tradition. 😀
you always make me laugh! glad you had fun!
Oh, what a nice restaurant. Sure looks like the kids had a great time.
Looks like you guys had fun!
Only problem I have is looking at that delicious piece of chocolate cake…never look at pictures of good food while on a diet ( I might just have to go eat some ice cream to compensate!).
