First Date

Abby and Nolan have become good friends over the last year or so, as you can see from the blog. But last week, their relationship went to a whole new level....they had their first date. It was lunch and a movie, chaperoned of course, by Sam and myself! On Tuesday afternoon, Nolan arrived right on time to pick up his lady friend and we all headed down to Destin. We had a nice lunch at Panera and then went over to the theater for our movie, The Care Bears. The first date did not go without a glitch though. The movie was supposed to start at noon and it still hadn't come on at 20 after. After chatting with the other moms in the theater we decided enough was enough and Sam went to lay the smack down. A few minutes after that, the theater manager came in and informed us that the movie needed to be reloaded and would take another 10 minutes or so and if we didn't want to wait she would give us free passes. We all kind of just stared at her and she reconsidered and decided she didn't want an angry mom mob on her hands and just started handing out the passes to everyone! About 3 minutes later the lights dimmed and the movie started. Abby and Nolan were very good during our long wait, I am sure the popcorn and movie candy played a part. But, their patience paid off and they were able to see a WONDERFUL cinematic production that I am sure will be up for numerous awards! Well, maybe not, but the kids certainly enjoyed it and now we have free passes for our next movie date!!
