Jasmine and I had a ‘Daddy Daughter Night’.

After work, I picked her up from camp. She was playing monster dolls with her friends. She asked for a picture with a couple of her camp leaders.

This is actually her last week at the Parks & Rec summer camp program – so I knew she would be sad. So on the walk to the car, I told her tonight we are going to the movies to see Madagascar 3. She was quite excited.

She then asked what was for dinner (which she asks every evening when I pick her up). I said we are going out for pizza! She really liked this plan. Also it was 100 degrees today, and I certainly didn’t feel like cooking in our hot kitchen.

After dinner, we got our seats in the theater. We both enjoyed the movie – there was some beautiful animated scenes and some good humor. Although, I think there could have been more penguins.

As the credits rolled, Jasmine got a bit grumpy and wanted to go home right now. I replied “so you don’t want to go to McDonald’s for dessert?” She instantly perked up, saying “I can go, as long as you get me a Happy Meal.”
