Family mustache night

Last week, Tonya, Bryleigh, and I had dinner out together. We went to Old Spaghetti Factory, a family favorite. While we were in line for a table, there was a family of 5 in front of us. Mom, Dad, 2 little boys, and a girl; all 4 of 5 had mustaches (only mom was not participating, but dad's was real, so the way I see it his real mustache makes up for mom's unwillingness). The kids just loved it. They were out to eat, which is already the best night ever for a kid, but that they all decided they were going to wear mustaches had to have made that particular night stick out to them, likely forever.

Those are the moments, as a kid, that you never forget.

"Remember that one night we all wore fake mustaches to dinner?"

It made me think about ways I can make nights like this. What ways am I going to make nights like that for my daughter, for my family? Those are the memories you never forget.

What strange unforgettable things have you done with your family?
