Dos Amigos

Last night we went to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant, El Rancho.
*
We always celebrate our birthdays there because the staff comes out singing, then takes your picture wearing a sombrero.
*
And they serve you deep-fried ice cream in a cinnamon-drenched tortilla bowl--for free!

This was an annual tradition for Mark and me. When Sarah turned 16 we began taking her on her birthday.
*
We took Jacob there for his 16th birthday also, but since he was at Camp Geronimo for his 17th, we took Dylan in his place.
*
So this year I decided, what the heck, let's split the difference and take both boys, 3 days after Jacob's birthday and 2 days before Dylan's!

Their happily stuffed faces tell the whole story!

Actually, the restaurant's camera was broken, so Sarah offered to go home and get ours. She almost missed dinner!

One of the owners offered to print copies of the pictures from my memory card, and she did. Here are the results.

Great memories!

This looks like THE place to go for birthdays. I've never heard of a Mexican restaurant doing anything for birthdays. Singing AND taking a picture??? I've never heard of ANY restaurant doing that!

LOVE THE PICTURES! WE SOMETIMES CELEBRATE AT CHEVY'S DOWN HERE IN THE VALLEY, AND THEY DO THE SOMBRERO THING TOO!
