Bowling and Dinner in the Hamptons

We had a fun time as a family bowling. It was waaaay tooooo cold to go out to the park, and no kid movies were playing either. The kids had a great time and even Mei enjoyed herself. It was a great weekend... :)

They love taking a picture next to the shark! We have to do it everytime we go there!

Everyone's trying to get in on the picture before dinner! Cute.

Finding fun is where you go! Originally we were going to have a meal at Sam's in East Hampton. If you have kids... don't go. We have gone many time, but never again. The Hostess was not nice and scolded the group( all the people waiting for the retersunt to open in the bitter cold... and as usual they opened late) and our kids. The four year old was standing near the door which was locked and banged on the door and was jumping up to see in the window. I asked him to stop and he went off and did something else. It wasn't a nice thing to do, but appropriate for a 4 year old and really it was nothing major or crazy and out of control. Now kids are kids and they were being good. We were talking to the other people waiting. If they weren't I'd be the first to correct them and that's my job, not the hostess. She came to the door and yelled at the whole group and lectured us on how not to kick the door. You think someone was trying to break it down? Thjat was not the case. It could of been a knock for all she knew. She was so crabby that the couple behind us refused to be seated and left. The women even gave the hostess a good tongue lashing. Well done and thank you stranger. She went on to complement us on what well behaved and lovely kids we have and complemented us on not eating at the resteraunt and standing up for our kids. We were nice about the whole situation but I told the hostess not to be crabby toward my kids just because she was having a bad day. We made a family decision to ride out to a fun family reteraunt to watch the sharks & fish being fed- The Crow's Nest. The kids had a blast and I was so proud of them how they handled themselves and the whole situation at Sam's. It was a good life lesson that they should think highly of themselves and not let anyone treat them rudely. They recovered quickly and we all had a fun time. The food was great and the owner even let the kids help him feed the fish. Nice man!
