Have you seen the newly-launched animated series, Thomas Edison’s Secret Lab? You can catch it on Netflix, PBS, and Comcast X Finity. Charlie saw it one night while flipping through Netflix and it’s now in our regular rotation. It’s a big hit with the science fans!

    We love to go to Hometown Buffet on Thursday nights for family night. My boys love it when they have the cotton candy, me I have the stuff but I sure can work my way through the pecan pie!

    We like going to Ryan’s. We don’t have small children so we don’t go on family nights
