Thanks to the Fox & Turtle restaurant for working with me on this video.

Hi, guys! Today, I’m sharing myΒ Fun with 5 Kids at the Fox and Turtle video.

Earlier this month, we enjoyed a fabulous family dinner out at the Fox & Turtle restaurant and played in their game room before we headed home. This was such a great night, and the Fox & Turtle restaurant in Itasca, Illinois is a place I would absolutely recommend to anyone living in or visiting the Chicagoland area. The food was great and the desserts were delicious and memorable.

I hope you enjoy the video, and as always, thanks for watching! πŸ™‚
