Guest Blogging With Owen

Last week Owen learned about my blog. We were eating peanuts and I mentioned that my first blog was about eating peanuts with Owen. I read the blog to him. He asked to hear more. So we read many of the blogs. Then he asked me if I had written any new ones. I had not so we decided to write this one about our date to see the Lion King together. Our day started with an easy, early drive to New York City. When we got there we started walking up 5TH Ave to Central Park. We passed Rockefeller Center and the Lego Store but it wasn't open yet. We went to say hello to the sea lions at Central Park Zoo. We also saw the clock ring with monkeys at 11:00. Then we walked over to get on line at a restaurant called Serendipity. They have famous hot chocolate that we wanted to try. We waited on line for 45 minutes but were no closer to getting in. So we crossed the street to eat at a delicious pizzeria. Then we started walking back to the theater. We walked faster and faster but it still was a long way off. Owen got a cramp from running so much. But it was worth the effort because we got tour seats just in time to see the amazing start of the show with the Circle of Life. It was amazing to see Times Square turn into the African Safari with elephants, giraffes, lions, gazelles and birds. The show was a feast for the eyes with incredible costumes, dancing and singing. When it ended, Owen and I walked around Times Square and visited ToysRUs. We did not buy anything but as always, we checked out the Lego department. It was a terrific day and we both look forward to another date soon.
