On one hand the weekend seemed very mellow and laid back, but at the same time busy busy. On Saturday, after a swimming birthday party, Maddie and I went to the Hope Lutheran "Spring Fling." This was the re-scheduled "Winter Ball" that was cancelled a few weeks ago by snow. We just learned about this re-scheduled on Tuesday, but we don't need to go there.
The evening was fun. We started out with aspirations of hitting Elliot Bay Brewery for a casual dinner. However, upon driving by and seeing the line out the door we had to improvise. Given that it was close to 6pm (the dance started at 6:30pm) my first thought was something like Luna Park, but then Steph recommended Angelina. Maddie was up for that since it sounded like Angelina Ballerina :-) We got in really quick, and had a great dinner. Maddie colored some pictures, had some bread, and gobbled down here cheese pizza...no sauce. I had my staple, Chicken Parmesan. FLASHBACK: I used to work at Angelina's back in high school and got hooked on Chicken Parmesan.
From Dinner we made a quick stop at the grocery store for some gum...couldn't go to the dance with garlic breath. When we got to the dance, things were jammin'. The mini-stereo system was busting out the tunes, kids were running everywhere and there was a contingent of dads hanging out. As the night went on, the music got better (kinda), we had a few "dances", a few glasses of Apple Juice, and of course a cookie or two. Once the dance was over, we wandered over to Husky's for a scoop of ice cream. I knew that Maddie was tired when she could only get through 1/2 of her Root Beer ice cream...usually she gobbles that down.
So, our first ever "Father-Daughter" event was in the books. We had a great time!
