The Soup Plantation doesn't seem like such a great deal when the people you actually pay for sleep through the all you can eat buffet.

With mom and Ayden put to sleep by the steady screaming of other people's kids, the rest of us were able to skip the salad completely and go straight to the chicken pot pie stew (the special for the day) and load up on frozen yogurt and cookies.  I woke Heidi up in time to help clean up the kids and accidentally steal one of the high quality plastic water cups to add to our expanding collection of assorted accidentally-stolen cups.
