Connor's First Movie

Alan and I wanted to give Connor a special day out, just by ourselves. David and Grainne were gracious enough to watch Ronan for us, and we headed out.

Connor didn't know where we were going. We just told him it was going to be a fun adventure. But then we showed up to the movie theater, and he started getting excited. He still didn't really know what we were all about, but his smiles got bigger. Then, when we said "Yes" to the popcorn and 7-up (!!!), he was even more excited.

We arrived to our designated theater, and had him read the title, "Kung Fu Panda 2." Then he really lit up.
As it turns out, we had the ENTIRE theater to ourselves. So I'd say that the next time we go to the theater, it'll be another new experience to have other people in the theater with us!

Afterwards, we took him to Eddie Rockets, an American-style diner. Alan ordered a Knickerbocker Glory, the dessert he ordered when he was a child. Connor ordered a strawberry shake, and I got a vanilla malt (reminiscing my Bostonian childhood). It was a fun afternoon.
