Every once in a while the treat becomes the main attraction of FHE night. When this happens it seems the lesson is forgotten, but the most important thing is doing something fun as a family. In this case, we headed to Red Robin for all you can eat (or drink?) root beer floats.

What’s goin’ on small fry?

After we sat down we noticed a lot of stares from other tables. Then it hit us: Drew had come here without bottoms! Drew!?! When we said bottomless, we were talking about the drinks!

Are the fries getting a little too salty Ellie? Time to move on to the sweet stuff!

Go ahead Ellie, dive right in…Brinley style…

It’s awfully quiet around this table…where’s Rowan? Just listen for the sound of gulping…

That float stache is coming in nice Binnie. Make sure your Root to Float ratio remains constant! This is science in the summertime!

Uh-oh, somebody’s well has run dry…Keep your shorts on Drew! Here comes another frosty mug!

Looks like Eleanor has mastered Brinley-style eating and added her own flair by throwing her head back…

Good thing you came up for some air Rowan; your face was turning a creamy brown!

Three mugs into the race Brinley got a strange look on her face. She started talking gibberish about a buzzing noise in the back of her head…

Hey waiter! What did you put in these drinks? These kids are lookin’ mighty suspicious to me!

Oh I get it…sugar saturation level has peaked! As good as it tastes we just can’t swallow another sip, eh Eleanor?

Thanks for taking care of the tip Ellie. Where’d you get the money? Has anybody seen my wallet?

Was it worth it to drive clear across town to consume massive quantities of root beer and ice cream? Totally worth it, because we robbed us some balloons! Funny how honesty was the FHE lesson topic…Attaboy for positive reinforcement!
