I always seem to find it easy to come up with special outing ideas for Reagan and I to do together, and struggle a little about what to do with the boys. So I was thrilled when I received a post card from the Audubon Society about a special screening of
Flying Monsters 3D. I knew Collin would enjoy it, and he was very excited about having a special night for just the two of us.
Grandma watched the girls yesterday afternoon, and Collin and I went to the IMAX for this special event.
The film was very interesting. I had never heard anything about pterosaurs before, so I learned quite a bit. Collin mentioned that he thought the 3D aspects of the film were really good, and I have to agree.
The Audubon Society had a table set up with different items for sale, and Collin chose this Dinosaur Poop Excavation Kit. I knew he would pick that.
After the film, there was a screech owl presentation in the lobby.
This owl's name is Odie and he was hit by a car when he was first learning to fly. He is about six years old now, and is blind in one eye from the accident.
We had a great time out together!
Collin actually mentioned how happy he was that he had two special outings in just a few days. On Saturday, Tom took him to the PC Friars basketball game! I think it's so important to do things with each of the kids individually; I know they appreciate the one on one time!

What a fun outing!! Collin looks quite excited about his excavation kit!
That is an awesome idea! In fact, I am going to try and do something special with each of the kids before I have this baby! (I better hurry!)...and this is a fantastic idea! I am just like you...it is super easy to think of things to do with the girls...but my boys...it's a bit tougher! Thanks for the example!
The movie looks awesome - I can see Anna enjoying it too. I am glad Collin had fun!
That is so sweet that Collin appreciates his one-on-one time so much! My kids love it, too - and so do I as a parent!
