Yes my friends, this is my now 17-year old son. Last week was his birthday. My family wanted to make sure that is was a really happy one. And nothing says joy like funny hats, masks and sundaes.

Mission Viejo had many great restaurants, but few are as fun as Ruby's Diner. Though this is a chain, it maintains high quality and is such an enjoyable place to spend an evening. Red vinyl seats, Formica table, a vintage train running around a track over our heads....this evening they even had a very talented balloon "artist."

My son...the true gourmet...had a plain cheese burger. Oh dear, some day his wife is not going to be happy with me.I ordered a great Southwest Burger with avocado, green chilies and chipotle mayo, served with sweet potato fries.

Not to worry....he did not wear the mask out, even though he's a huge Batman fan. This was part of a gift bag from my brother and sister-in-law. He was a good sport to wear it while eating his birthday sundae. Ok....he didn't actually eat the sundae, he had to scoop off the whipped cream and cherry first. Ugh...where did I fail him in the food department.

It was a fun evening of good food and family. Happy Birthday to Connor!

LOL!! Sounds like the typical 17 year old kid. But, I never scraped off the whipped cream or cherry when I w his age. He needs to expand his palate a little bit.

Karen, great, eye-catching title!! :)  My son turns 17 in January...and I have so enjoyed watching him grow into a wonderful young man!  May your Connor have a wonderful year ahead of him!! And no worries on the food.  It is amazing how when men get married or have a girlfriend who cooks for them, how their palate expands! ;)

Karen- a big Happy Birthday to Conner.  My friends daughter won't touch cheese, so when we have her over for a pizza, it's tomato sauce, maybe a few tomatoes and that's it.  So Happy Birthday Conner and to the ice cream sundae without the whipped cream and cherry.

Connor is a good sport to let you take his picture with the mask on.  Good to know a little healing is happening.
