The Kids Table

I love that my children have cousins around their age.  When I was a kid, all of my cousins were much older than me and when they started having kids, their kids were much younger than me.  At family functions, the kids at the kids table consisted of my brother and me.  Who wants to sit by her brother? I saw him all the time! It was so boring.  I LONGED for cousins around my age.

Tonight we went out to dinner with my husband's brother and his family.  We went to Buffalo Wild Wings for those of you curious about such things (I LOVE knowing where people go to eat!). The kids got to sit at their OWN table, right across from us. They had so much fun together and while they did come over to swipe boneless wings and chips, they were totally fine at the kids table.  They were giggling and having fun together with VERY few reminders from us about behavior.  The adults were able to carry on a conversation without too many interruptions.  It was great! 

My kids have seven cousins and they are all ten and under. They will grow up together, build memories together and I bet that the kids table will be WAY more fun than the kids table from my childhood. :-)
