Gavin's Birthday at F. McLintocks

It is a family tradition to go to F. McLintocks in Pismo Beach when somebody's birthday is close. So on our trip up to Morro Bay, we stopped to help Gavin celebrate - even though his birthday isn't for a few days. They are a kid-friendly restaurant and immediately upon arriving, Coco was given crayons and a cow picture to color.
Gavin wasn't sure that he wanted to have the waiters pour water into his glass, on his head (kind of a signature activity that the waiters entertain the customers with). This waiter, blindfolded, stood on a chair and poured into Meg's glass. . .she didn't even get too wet.
Then it was Gavin's turn - and even though he was hesitant at the beginning, he enjoyed it thoroughly.
The waiters and waitresses all came over and sang Happy Birthday to him - and he got a Brownie Sundae.
Another treat for the kids, which our children all remember, is getting to pick out some toys in the saddlebag if they eat a good dinner. Gavin and Coco are shown here rooting through every toy in the saddlebag.
There are a few stuffed animals at the restaurant. . .Coco and Gavin couldn't believe how big a buffalo was.
Afterwards, they rode the small horse toys outside - and they can't wait for Uncle to come home from Argentina in October so he can ride on them with him.
Coco learned how to ride with one hand in the air for balance.
