Christmas in Frankenmuth

Once upon a time there was a teeny tiny dog who was lying in bed daydreaming about her mommy, Beth, and daddy, Donnie.  She was dreaming that they travelled to Frankenmuth, Michigan with their dear friends, Vera and Chester.

Upon their arrival to the outlet mall, they stopped at Tony’s where the portions were fair, large, Paul Bunyon sized, where one waffel order would feed a family, and the omlets were made with alot one dozen (12) eggs.  This made Donnie and Chester very sad because they had to finish everything off their plate or there wouldn’t be any dessert.  Or so, mommy said anyways.

Vera was delighted to show the “side” of bacon that consisted of one pound of the stuff.  Or was she delighted that the side of bacon was only $5 because a side of bacon in Canada consists of 3 strips of bacon for $5?

Snow started to miss her mommy and wished she could have travelled with her to the land…

where the Nutcrackers stood guard and watched

the polar bears roam free and…

the penguins dance and play in the snow

where they made snowmen all day.

Santa had his workshop

where all the elves were kept busy.

The magic of Christmas was starting to come alive.

The magic was a BIG thing for some ;)

The day was becoming long, and some of the penguins and other animals wanted to party.  Everyone was allowed to bring one cup for beverages.  Poor, Chester penguin, got very upset when his friend thought of something he didn’t…

and that was to bring one gigantic mug where few trips were needed to refill the spiked eggnog.

Snow then thought that her mommy and daddy had enough fun and play and needed her home.  So in her dream she only let them make more stop–the famous Zehnder’s chicken dinner.

The end.

Tutorial Tuesdays will resume in January.

Hi Beth -

I loved the story – LOL! Snow is looking good, so much better. But how could you look into those gorgeous eyes and leave her alone? She just looks so sweet in her bed. I’m so glad she is doing better.

OMG! DH & I stopped in Frankenmuth on our way to Northern Michigan last year where we spent a week in a timeshare condo. We also had brekkie at Tony’s and I couldn’t believe the amt. of food! Everyone walked out of there with doggie bags. There were 4 men sitting at a table next to us who were joking around with the waitress about the gigantic portions. She told them that if they ate it all, that Tony would give them a gift card for a cardiologist! LOL We also shopped at the outlet mall. Where do you live? I live in Toronto.

I used to live in Flint, MI, and we’d go to Zehnder’s or The Bavarian Inn all the time for dinner. I’ve never eaten at Tony’s, but OMG, BACON! :-)
