Took the kiddos to see Curious George Live at the Fox Theater in downtown Detroit this past weekend. We sang, we danced, we bought out the concession stands. Daddy, as well as many other mommies and daddies, was happy that along with Capri Sun juice boxes, the concessions served alcoholic beverages. You can gather from the pictures that Nate was initially a little reserved with the noise or volume of the event. But, both Nate and Tessa got fantastic views of one of their favorite animated characters, Curious George. It has been pointed out to Troy and I that Nate somewhat resembles this adorable little monkey. Curious, huh? We have to agree with this to some extent. It is the Baughman genes, I tell you. His uncle was nicknamed Cro Magnon Man in high school, after all.
We also privileged the kids with a ride on Detroit's finest People Mover train. This almost took the cake for the evening. Troy and I fielded a number of interesting questions from Nate and his observations along this cultural adventure. Nate and Tessa were both very thrilled with putting the coins in the turnstiles. It's too bad we didn't have a picture of mommy covering her ears (and eyes) while riding the train that sounded like it needed a good dowsing of WD40 and felt like it was going to flip right on off that skinny, little rail they called a track! Then, of course, every time the doors opened my chest fluttered with the paranoia of one of my precious munchkins prematurely exiting the doors that flung open at every stop along our route. While at the show, Mommy should have sipped on Daddy's drinks rather than those Capri Suns.
