A Perfect Day for Evan

Todd was busy with Chad's activities today, so Evan and I had an official "date night." The first thing that we did was go to the movies. We saw "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian." He ate a whole cinnamon pretzel and washed it down with a Sprite. The movie kept him pretty entertained until the last 15 minutes or so, so that was nice.

After the movie, we headed off to the library. Evan decided that he wanted to join their summer reading program. He has to read ten books to receive a prize and then at 50 books, can receive prize number two. He is committed to the ten books but is not quite sure about reaching 50. We started with three books on underwater life; one of his favorite topics since he loves animals and nature.

Next stop was a visit to a nice area around the bayou/Intercostal Waterway. Evan gets so close to the water...it is like a magnet; he can't help himself. We saw a crab, fish, pigeons and some insects. The weather was so warm and pleasant, I think we could have stayed there for hours. The water made Evan want to fish so bad. He knows that he could catch a lot of fish if given the chance.

After the bayou we headed off to Wendy's for a burger and frosty. After that we went home for baths and t.v./video game time. A perfect day for Evan and Mom. I always enjoy our time together!

Movies are always fun.

Evan loves the water and can't wait to go fishing.
