Yesterday we had a great day.
Around midday we went down to ACMI for the Family Day Vikings and Dragons. How to Train Your Dragon is Cian's FAVOURITE and since there was a free event on it seemed like the perfect activity.
Cian and Em made scales to pin on the big dragon and got to do a stop action movie as Toothless breathing fire onto a viking (Em was the viking). There were lots of cool activities and even free admission to a part of the ACMI which had old video games throughout the ages which was great fun for Cian and Keith.
After our dragon fun we had lunch on the way to Parliament station where we met up with Devin, the in-house favourite playmate of Cian and Emily. We were on our way to the Essendon-Collingwood AFL game. My friends Marta and Chris had invited us to come to see a real match with two very well-loved teams at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground). The stadium is huge and I was worried it was going to be a disaster with the kids but Cian LOVED it and Em played on the iPad (not that interested in sports that one). Essendon (who we were cheering for) won 103-39. They were fantastic through the whole game so we decided to chance it and go out for dinner. On the way out of MCG Emily said "Someone should really turn out the lights" (to the stadium) - good observation kiddo.
We went to Amigo's and had our own little area in the back where we had margaritas and nachos and the kids got big O.J.'s and were psyched to be out with all these adults - especially Marta who was their new favourite person. We took the train up to Newmarket and walked home in the darkness of the evening and even with the late hour the kids were amazing and hopped into bed. As Emily was falling asleep she said that Cian was her favourite and that Daddy was her second favourite. I said "What about Mommy?" and she said "Mommy is my best friend" <heart melt> A wonderful Sunday.
