Mommy-Son Date

"I don't really care what we're doing, as long as I'm with you."

Those were the words Kellen spoke to me as we started out on our Mommy-son date night Friday night.  And they melted my heart....Any guesses at to what his love language is?

We were headed to go eat, then to the Mommy-son Speedway Spectacular.  Other than the name, I really had no idea what to expect.  I was hoping there would be car races involved since we were headed to a race track.

After going to McDonald's to eat dinner (his choice), we headed there.

Once we checked in, we realized that they had provided dinner (oops).  We headed to the various booths.


Bounce house was first on the list.



Then we checked out the fire truck and talked with the firemen (for a while).






Then we played with the snakes (this one in particular for quite a while).  There was no one waiting for this one when we got there, so Kellen was able to play with him for a while.  He had to relinquish him once other kids started to show up to play with him.



He played with this guy...it was the coolest purple shade (and my camera did not do it justice).


He had fun with the turtle.


And then we painted his hair red (the only color left by the time we got to that station...since we had spent so much time playing with the animals).


We played a few games of "Minute to Win it" (successfully, I might add).


And then he (finally!!) found a remote control car - with the appropriate working remote - and was able to play with it for a little while.


We then went back to McDonald's for some dessert to finish out the night.....and then headed back home.  He journaled all aspects of the night in the notebook you see in front of him.

It was a GREAT mommy-son date.
