Congratulations to Jason, who graduated from his MD/PhD program last month! After the graduation, we met at the Melting Pot for dinner. With some trepidation, as we had our kids in tow. A dinner at The Melting Pot includes a salad and three courses of fondue and is at least a 3 hour affair. But the Rupp kids and a few friends were there as well, so we hoped they would keep each other entertained.
We had a great time. Great company and good food!
The first course was awesome. Bread with three types of cheese dip. Skewers in the hands of a two year old, three year old and five year old in close proximity to each other added a new dimension of excitement, but no one came away with a permanent injury.
Course #2 was significantly less entertaining for the smaller crowd. I took them outside to run off some energy and kill time.
With the help of smart phones and multiple trips to the bathroom (the waitress was very proficient at keeping us stocked with lemonade), we made it through course 2 and the long wait to the promised chocolate course.
Which was, of course, the best part of the night. We ate til we could eat no more. Kitty discovered that there was a grandma in the room (Jason's mom), and Kitty didn't leave her side the rest of the evening.
I have wanted to try one of those places. Hope you were able to enjoy it amid the chasing and potty breaks. You are a brave bunch to take those little ones in and give them sharp pointy objects.
