Winter Lights at LaCaille

Thursday was our semi-annual outing to LaCaille with my school.  It was different this time because they had decorated with Christmas lights, so it was really beautiful.  Usually they don't like to book schools after Thanksgiving time, but Jodelle can sweet-talk and we were able to go the week after.  There was a great turn out of students (there was a combined number with my one Teen Living class and Jodelle's three food classes). 

I am starting to feel like the food is getting less fancy the more I go.  The first time I went to LaCaille, I was so excited to be eating at such an upscale restaurant that I thought the food was just outstanding.  It's not like the food isn't good, it just doesn't feel like I'm getting a $90 meal.  Which is what we tell the kids they are getting, but only for $28.  I won't complain though because it is a free 5-course meal (for me anyway, we do pay if Scott comes).
The "boob wall" is gone!! We were so sad to find out that you can't get a good view on some cleavage as you go to the bathroom anymore.  See this post for what used to be here.
One of two adult tables.
Eating pineapple flavored sorbet!
It was a little interesting eating it in this spoon.  Especially because it was frozen and you had to bite it.  A little confused on how the etiquette was supposed to be to eat it, but it did taste very yummy.
Okay, so we found out at the beginning of the year that we could only charge the students $25 through the school for an activity, but LaCaille charges $28 for the meal.  So, we had the students bring in $3 cash to make up the difference and I had Scott help me collect and count the money.  It was a huge wad of cash and there were lots of dolla dolla bills y'all.
After dinner, Scott & I stayed until all the students got picked up and I took pictures of all the pretty lights.
