Couple traveling New England came in from the mountains. A 3 hour drive. To get a call from the babysitter and they have to go fetch their six year old son. From 2 hours away. She stayed and ordered take out. He drove. They happened to have booked a room with a pull out sofa, so no emergency accommodations.
BUT, I had planned to serve pumpkin spice pancakes and mini apple pies. We switched to plain pancakes and cinnamon muffins. All was well. The kid was adorable. He loved the koi fish and wanted to get to know the cats. (the cats vetoed that idea.) And he was so excited when he saw us putting up the Christmas tree.
A fun addition to our holiday weekend. I guess the moral of the story is, even though we don't cater to kids, we bend, and sometimes it's truly worth it. Smiles all around and a promise to come again in Summer.
