Date night with Frog & Toad

So Nana and Pop offered Harrison a night out on the town including tickets to see A Year with Frog and Toad at a small theater in Bloomington. Harrison could not have been more excited...and he had done his homework by reading his Frog and Toad book repeatedly (thanks Nana!) during the past week.

So last night we started off the evening with dinner at an Italian restaurant, then we headed downtown. We parked in the 4th Street parking garage which Harrison thought was awesome...he really likes parking garages...and we got to the show at 6:30. A full half hour early meant that we got front row seats.

I had no expectations about the show, and it ended up being wonderful. The pole-position seats meant that Harrison was right up in the falling snow and blowing leaves as the seasons changed on stage. Then at intermission I took him up to talk to the drummer in the band, who handed big H a drum stick and let him hit the cymbals and snare. Harrison thought it was beyond cool.

After each scene he kept saying 'MORE!'.

We then stopped for i-sceem on the way home.
We then went to check out some nearby diggers and other machinery...another of Harrison's favorite. By this time it was 9:30 and a full 2 hours past his bedtime (perhaps well past Pop's bedtime as well) and he was starting to unravel a bit (Harrison, not Pop).


Nana and Pop - Harrison says 'tank yew' for a wonderful evening.
