My Grandmama is so sweet. She found out that a highly rated play was being performed at the Imaginon Children’s Theater and bought our family tickets so that we could go with her. The play was based on the children’s book “Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse”. The book is very cute and Grandmama brought it over for us to read in the weeks prior to the play. There is even a boy in the book named “Wilson”. That went over very well in our household.
After church we all ate together at the chicken pie luncheon (Yum!!) and then drove downtown to Imaginon. We had great seats, although I don’t think there is a bad seat in the entire theater.
The play was adorable and the kids really enjoyed the show. Miller started to get a bit restless towards the end, but he did great. I think the show was a little over an hour long. I hope to take the kids to more plays so that I can expose them to the theater and other new experiences. This a perfect first play.
After the play, Grandmama offered to take us out for ice cream. The only ice cream shop that was near us was the Ben & Jerry’s near the church. It was another warm and sunny day so the place was packed (and only one person behind the counter). We waited in line for a long time, but it was worth it. Miller and I couldn’t decide what flavor to eat so we chose to split a quart of S’mores ice cream. Honestly, that was the cheapest way to go. I told Tom that if we ever go back as a family we were just going to get one quart and four spoons. I love Ben & Jerry’s because they support food labeling and have decent ingredients, but man, their ice cream is expensive! But as Tom tells me continuously, “sometimes the experience it is worth the cost”. Grandmama was so sweet to treat us to a play and ice cream. It is so wonderful having her in town to do these things with us. Thanks Grandmama!
