Dear Mr. Cathy, CEO of Chick Fil A,
I wanted to express my appreciation for your bringing Cow Appreciation Day to the attention of the world. Cows are certainly an under appreciated animal. A day for them is warranted indeed. Just the fact that they have 4 stomachs makes them worthy of some special appreciation.
My family had the novel idea of celebrating the day by dressing up like this special creature. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at our local Chick Fil A for lunch and were given free food in appreciation of our appreciation for the cow. Thank you for the free combo meal for me and 4 free 6 piece kids meals. Apparently, my youngest child was not all that thrilled about it. She slept through the whole meal. But, don’t worry. Her chicken did not go to waste. My younger son Drew apparently must be growing. He ate 11 chicken nuggets himself.
For some reason, the children removed their body decorations as soon as they got their food. Don’t take it personally, please, Mr. Cathy.
And, fortunately, my youngest did wake up just in time to leave the restaurant (after a few fries) and go home for nap time.
Thank you again for making this day one that we will mark on our calendars for years. Perhaps next year, you can work with Hallmark to design some special cards for the occasion. I would buy them. Perhaps this woman would buy them as well.
Thank you again. Long live the cow. And, eat more chicken.
Genuinely,
Kelly Raudenbush
You guys are hilarious, and totally hard-core. I would pay extra money to avoid the masses on a free food day! :)
Kelly! That is hysterical! My kids would have a blast doing that, but our good friends are the owners/operators of our CFA and we eat there a. LOT. I have had it three times this week already! LOL. Now if Taco Bell had dress up like a taco day, I would be all over it. Seeing your pictures makes me realize we really missed a good time though!
And dern! That lady is hard core! She must really love some chicken! LOL!
You are a hoot! I love the Pics
Very Cute! We love Chick Fil A too!
OH!!!! How cute!!! I SO miss CFA! The kids do too. We always dressed up too.
You freakin’ crack me up! Pure awesomeness.
Hilarious…! Love those kind of adventures, and the kids will remember it forever.
Now wait a minute here….you mean to say that we missed this ever important day at our local Chick Fil A? They practically know the sound of my car when I pull up to the speaker! I swear they made a custom combo just for me…..a soup and side salad WITH a drink. LOL! Look and see the next time you are there and just know that it’s the Nikki combo.
Really cute photos! And yes, long live the cow.
Nikki
Never been to a Chick-Fil-A. Actually thought it was pronounced Chick-fill-uh (sound of A, not the letter) until I heard someone say it recently. I know there’s some a couple of hours away, but not in the vicinity. Now if I had known about free nuggets for a cow costume…cute pics!
Cracking. Me. UP!!! What a hoot! Power to the MOO!
Hilarious!!!!
I love it!
OK Kelly – I totally remember when you did this last year, but I really enjoyed seeing Lydia in the photos this year, your precious sleeping girl and then having a waffle fry! You are such a good Mom!
too funny…here is another cow loving family

Kelly,
That is so funny that you dressed everyone up like cows! We ate at there on Thurdsay and I told Erik I should dress the children up like cows and go. I will have to do it next year. It looks like you all had a great time!
Tricia
You are a HOOT Kelly…this cracks me up! What a fun mama you are to your kiddos…they will surely remember these days …and possibly one day ask “WHAT WERE YOU THINK’IN, Ma!?!” ;) LOL!! Good times, for sure.
I’ve yet to try a Chick-Fil-A, but when I finally see one, I will make a point to stop by. I’ve heard the founders are Christians and I love that they are for all natural chickens over the hormone-pumped ones! Love supporting people/businesses like that. Very family-friendly!!
