Mommy-Munchkin Date

 Clare and I had a FUN date on Sunday.

My sister, who just spent a week in Uganda (with wild chimps and other exotic animals), encouraged us to go see Disney's new movie, Chimpanzee.  Say no more!

While Clare was very excited about the movie, 

I think she was MOST excited about something else...

She was pretty excited whenever she saw the poster for "OUR MOVIE."

This was the "cheeser look" that she had for most of the date.

Cheeser = VERY EXCITED 3.5-year-old

 The theater was packed, so we ended up in the second row.  We even had to ask a few people to move so that we could sit together.  I wasn't about to sit separately from my preschooler, but I could tell that we weren't the most popular people in the theater.  

We quickly become the most unpopular people on the theater when Clare needed to go to the bathroom after only two minutes in our seats...in the middle of the row...that we had just asked people to rearrange for our needs.  Nice.

 The movie was great.  Clare enjoyed narrating the different scenes:

"It looks like danger."

"Scar is bad...just like in Lion King."

"Oh, they are silly chimps."

You get the idea.  :)

 By the end of the show, Clare was hopped up on Sprite and popcorn,

and she wanted to watch it again.

 I enjoyed the movie, as well as supporting the Jane Goodall Institute, but my favorite part was simply having a special afternoon with my little lady.  Rarely do we have one-on-one time, and it was a blast building this memory together.

Thanks for making it happen, Ninnie!  :)
