Pancakes, Pancakes, Pancakes

Today, Carson and his entire class at Mount Daniel were treated to a Pancake Party courtesy of Falls Church IHOP.  This was a warm up event for National Pancake Day tomorrow.

Terry, the manager, decorated the tables, had goody bags for the kids and gave them perhaps the largest pancakes I've ever seen to eat.  After that, it was time for a pancake stacking contest!  It was wild, it was crazy and it was fun!  Thank you IHOP, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and Mount Daniel!

 Preparing for the Room 11 arrival.  Francesca had the day off from school.

 Carson and one of his best buds, getting ready to eat pancakes.

 That pancake is outta here! Carson finished a pancake that was the size of his plate!

Over 400 pancakes were prepared for the pancake stacking contest.

 

 Almost ready to begin.....

(Just for the record, no pancakes were injured during the making of this video.)

 

 Finally, the big moment....Room 11 presents a check for $721.54 - money that they raised, mostly through collecting spare change- to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  Little did they know, after all the coins were counted, the real total was over $800!  Way to go Room 11!

Don't forget to visit your local IHOP tomorrow for National Pancake Day!  Carson will be at the Rockville, Maryland location from 10 AM-12 PM.
