A random Friday the 13th

How did you spend your Friday the 13th?
I spent mine with some very patient tweens and parents, as we did our first "surprise" night, eating supper at Bumpy'sa local, Tex-Mex restaurant in Little Rock.
Due to things beyond their control, we ended up waiting approx. an hourfor our seats to open up.
We had a reservation, but a table top who had been therefor more than two hourswere slow to leave.
After 30 minutes, we probably should have gone somewhere else, but we kept thinking, maybe they will leave.
The restaurant brought us water, and let the kidsget ice cream cones (the after dinner treat)as a pre-meal teaser.
We also ordered our meals/foodbefore we even got our tableso as soon as we sat down, the food started to arrive.
I've never been more proud of my tweens.
We had people coming up to usat the restaurantAMAZED at how well behaved they were.
One lady joked "did you drug them before you came?"
Nope, we just told them the name of the churchis on the side of the mini-busparked outside of the building.
They listened.
And for that, I'm grateful.  I'm also grateful for the adults who braved the idea (originally we were going to go to three different restaurants - a funky progressive meal)and rolled with the revised plan before we even started.
- duh it's Friday the 13 - maybe we should stick with one restaurant.
I think next time, I'll do this using "fast food" restaurants.
But if I want to have supper with friends (small group best)Bumpy's will be the place to go!
