Date With Aaron

Nora is spending the weekend with Aunt Tina, and I had Saturday off, so it was a perfect day for a date with Aaron. We started out with the anticipated ride in Gran B's truck and made the library, with its trains, our first stop. Aaron enjoyed whispering and saying, "We gotta be quiet" as he took play breaks and wandered through the aisles of books.


The next stop was McDonald's, which he declared was not McDonald's and he said nicely that he didn't want to go in. I think that "not McDonald's" means no play area. He enjoyed his cheeseburger and "frenchy fries" in the truck.

We took the bus to the downtown Graeter's for ice cream, but right inside the door were lovely cupcakes with plastic basketballs on top. Ice cream didn't rate once he spotted those.

Being the sweet little tourist that he was, he kept looking up at the buildings and declared that downtown was high. He waited patiently for the bus to take us back across the river. The bus was a big hit.

Next came another train set-up at Barnes and Noble and a book purchase. Love those trains. The tracks here are glued down, so there was no fretting about the track coming apart.

Back home again, it was a lovely sunny day and the neighbor kids were outside. We stayed outside for an hour.


When I left, he was settled in the "big bed" watching Cinderella. Aparently, he never did drop off to sleep after his big date with Gran B.
