Wordless Wednesday: I Love My Cousin

Monkeys Monday: We'll Miss You Summer Edition

As we adjust carseat straps to accomdate winter coats, look for lost mittens, trade in swimsuits for snowpants and flip flops for flannel pants, lets take a look back and give a moment of silence to our friend, Summer. Good-bye Summer. We'll miss you.

We're Going On A Trip In Our Favorite Rocket Ship.....Part 2

Continued from HERE!

So, Daddy got back to the show just as they're shutting off the lights, tired, sweaty and pissed off. I felt so bad for him. He really took one for the team running around the crappy part of town looking for effing batteries!!

Anyway...the show started and was truly amazing. Ariel sat on Aaron's lap wide eyed and mesmerized. Mickey. Mouse. Right. There. Even though she just saw him in March, this was so awesome to her.

The one thing I thought was weird though was that the "characters" were lip syncing. They were moving their mouths, but the voices were the same voices that are on the cartoons. It was VERY strange. We got used to it, but just thought it was weird. It was probably so the little ones would recognize them.

After the show, we were HUNGRY. There is a TGIFriday's right next to the Center, and that's where I wanted to eat. Aaron argued with me saying that it would be packed after the show. I reminded him that the show was geared for little people and they probably all ate before the show. After much negotiating, I asked him to please just let ME off at the door and I'd see how long the wait was. I walked in expecting it to be full busy. Instead, the bartender was leaning on the bar flirting with the hostess drumming his fingers. They both jumped to attention as I walked in.

"Um....how long of a wait for a table?" I asked stupidly in my neon green Disney t-shirt.

"For how many?" the hostess asked eagerly, "Would you like a high top? A booth? A window seat?"

"We'll take a window seat/booth. Let me get my family."

The service was quick and the food was hot and it tasted sooo good. Ariel behaved like a big girl and it was nice to spend some quality time with just her.

It was worth the time, money and frustration. The look on her face and the way she said, "OH THANK YOU MOMMY!!!" made me melt.
