McDonald’s
We’re taking the entire Kid’s Church to McDonald’s this morning & I’m nervous. We’ll have approximately 60 kids that will descend upon the playland and I have no reinforcements. I have no one that would be able ”search and rescue” should that be the mission change. There will be 5 of us on the front line but if they decide to overtake us we’re done. I say no retreat for the treat of McDonald’s.
The McDonald’s Experience: It went fairly good. Almost 60 kids and 2 adults (Most of my adults bailed out. – I guess it’s only for the brave.) I’m so thankful for the brave teens that faced the invasion with me. I would have given anything to video tape all the “viewers.”
- The many people that were looking in the playland from the safety of being on the other side of the glass. They had faces on I haven’t seen before; faces of total amazement. When we were finished we lined up the kids and marched out of McDonald’s. Will I do it again? Absolutely – when I get rid of this nervous tic.

The suffering one must endure for the Lord’s sake. I’m not concerned for you, but for the entire staff at MickeyDs.
Sounds crazy! Good luck.
Whew! McDonald’s may never be the same!
Lifelong memories are in the making…
even before you get off the bus say,”listen up….”
You are outnumbered! Surrender your hashbrown patty! You might want to hop a plane!
Hahaha! Your post is funny, and the comments are, too!
wow
I can’t wait to hear how
that adventure turns out
I can help out with 1 kid
Oh, wow! Have fun. I hope you alerted the store you were coming. Other wise there might be a whole lotta callin on the name of the Lord while you’re there, and not in a good way.
Have a great week!
Sounds like fun and you are still young at heart. As my one day care girl says, “Mc-O-Donalds.” Hope you survived.
oh my i hope you have good luck today let us know hehe love shelly.
Well you probably asked to be a living sacrifice at some stage. Be carefulwhat you ask for
OMG, better YOU than ME!
I can’t wait to hear how this little adventure went. Do you have more gray hairs now? 
Tke care and I hope your Sunday is/was a great one. BTW, you did say 60 kids, right?!? 
I hope you thought about PRE-ORDERING??? I have done this before at our McDonalds. Oh my!!
you are a braver soul that i…
Glad you had a good experience. One of the activitiese that I enjoyed the most when I stopped teaching was watching other school groups on field trips and not being responsible for them.
lol…nervous tic….well at least you didn’t lose all your hair, nails, and worse yet… your mind!! : )
60 / 2 bout normal….. I’m sure the McD’s was happy to see everyone, not so sure about the other customers…. LOL
It’s all green
I wish I could have gone to church when I was a child. Stories like this make me feel lonesome. And I am old.
sounds like you lived.LOL
I bet the employees won’t forget it either! Way to go!
Wow! That definately had to be an experience! I would have loved to have seen that! You brave soldier, haha…glad it went well!
p.s I posted a brief update of the situation
YOU LIVED THROUGH IT! Ohmy!
Hahaha.
Sounds like a grand adventure! Shame on the adults who bailed on you, though!
hahahahaha, that sounds awesome XD It would have been priceless to have seen those faces.
You are a much braver person than I. I couldn’t handle a zoo of kids like thsat if my life depended on it. However, I would’ve loved to been a fly on the wall to watch YOUwith all those little darlings. You truly are brave!
