mcdonald's saves the day

There are many things to share about the recent trip to KS, but I wanted to tell you a quick story before I forgot it. There are few things that McDonald's is good for in my opinion, but after visiting Coffeyville last week I am grateful for those golden arches. We had a bit of bad luck with our travels, and you ended up sick with the terrible cold that Ben had when we first arrived. It made sleeping very difficult for you with the coughing which in turn made it very difficult for dad to sleep since you shared a room in the camper (aka ambulance car which was kinda funny). There were some very early mornings for the family when no one was awake yet to visit so we would venture to the 24 hour McDonald's down the road. We shared the restaurant with some of the old farmers that met up for coffee in the mornings. It was a task to get you and your brother to eat anything for the week because you didn't feel good, but we tried. We were willing to do about anything to make you two feel better and this is what you came up with...

Butter and syrup soup
Ingredients:
Butter
Syrup

Open a package of McDonald's syrup and two packages of McDonald's butter. Scrape the butter into the syrup and stir until you've reached the desired consistency.

You made it, tasted it, enjoyed it, talked your mom and dad into tasting it, and it created a little comic relief for your two very exhausted parents.
