Ringing in the New Year with Cha Cha!

I haven't decided what to do celebrate the New Year with the kid's but here's a possibility. Rain Forest Cafe at South Coast Plaza  is having a Family New Year's Eve Celebration. Sounds pretty cool with "Knee High Buffet for kid's 12 & under, free goodie bags for the kids, sparkling cidar toast and more. Call for a reservation 714-424-9200. Anyone heard on any other cool kid friendly New Year's Eve events?

Date Night or Family Night?

I just found out that Simply Fondue is Mission Viejo has Family Night on Sunday's and kids under 10 eat free with purchase of dinner. I love Fondue and have gone several times as a date night with my husband but never really thought to bring the kids. I don't dare bring my 2 year old because of the hot pots but I think my 4 year old daughter would enjoy the chocolate fondue.

Wednesday Family Night Bowling, Pizza & More

I just found this great deal for Pizza and Bowling and more for $25. On the website Goldstar.com you can purchase this deal good at the Concourse Entertainment Center in Anaheim . The Wednesday Night Family Special  features one bowling lane for one hour, one large two-topping pizza, $5 in arcade tokens and shoe rentals for up to 8 people. It looks like this is currently available for all Wednesday's  in November and reservation times are 6pm, 7pm or 8pm.  I think I need to take the kids bowling.

Farrell's Grand Opening

We made it to the Grand Opening of Farrell's in Mission Viejo. It was crazy, loud and so much fun! A great place to bring the kids.We all had the wood stone fired pizza. The kids got to make their own at the table and had a blast. Ton's of birthday's celebrations  going on all around us with drums beating to celebrate. I had a coke ice cream float while my kid's enjoyed the chocolate milk. We ended the night with the a scoop of chocolate ice cream , yummy! I'll have to back with more people to try one of the belly busters maybe the The Pig's Trough or the Farrell's Zoo. If its your birthday remember to let them know because you get a free Birthday Sundae.
