More Culinary Adventures with Cole

You know, a few weeks ago, The Next Food Network Star filmed their show and subsequent challenges in Las Vegas. This weekend included a little pre-audition "grooming" for my rising star. Our toddler-equivalent to Las Vegas was celebrating two friend birthdays in one weekend.

Saturday night, we went to Ichibon Japanese Steakhouse in Kemah for Sharon's birthday. Like his daddy, Caleb is more of a "behind the scenes" guy and doesn't really care to have his picture taken much.


Here's a picture Cole took of our table-side chef.

Cole was a ham (food pun totally intended) the entire time but finally decided to sit down once the ice cream arrived. Here he is foregoing the spoon and digging in "Vegas-style".

Overall, the boys enjoyed the show. Caleb said he liked the flaming onion volcano the best. Cole pretty much just liked the attention.

Sunday brought us another food-related adventure, as we went to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate Reagan's 7th birthday. (She and her sister, Alyssa, looked soooo cute all dolled up straight from Libby Lu!) Cole didn't sit still long enough to pose for any pictures, but I'm sure he has plenty of stories to tell about it...given you can understand him.
