Christian's Special Day

Before my kids start Kindergarten I decided to let them have a "special day" with just the two of us. No brothers allowed! Christian chose to go to the movies. As part of the specialness of the day we bought popcorn at the theatre. This usually never happens. We always bring snacks from home. The smile that came across Christian's face was priceless. He loves popcorn. We got a large popcorn and drink to share and he pretty much ate most of it. I almost thought I was going to have to ask for a refill. We saw "G-Force" (the one with the gerbils that are 'secret agents') It was really cute. We then headed to McDonalds for dinner. He was a bottomless pit. We then got a phone call that really made the day. Our friends were going fishing and wanted to see if the boys wanted to go along. YES!!!! was the answer. Christian was pretty good and caught at least 4 fish but he didn't want a thing to do with getting anywhere near them after they were caught. Notice he's standing back a little. We were trying to get him to hold the line so I could get a picture. Wouldn't even get close!

Here is Diego's catch. He caught a few as well. He even caught a little turtle once. He keeps asking when we can go again.

I even got in on the action. First try and I got one!

Thank you Bruinings for asking us to come along and giving us some pointers. You guys have great patience. We had a great time and the boys have found a new passion!
