When a friend (thanks Jenny!) tells you that Lightning McQueen and some friends are going to be at the Mall of America, what do you do? If you live in our house, the answer is simple - you go.
Your husband hurries home from work so you can try to beat the after-work crowd, and you just sigh
a little when you see the line. Then you stand in that line for 40 minutes, listening to the Cars 2 preview playing on an
endless loop. You watch your 11-month old twist around, trying to take it all in - the cartoon on the big screen, the toddlers throwing tantrums, the mom convincing her son that Lightning isn't scary - he's just like her car, he won't talk or anything! Charlie loved watching the kids who were calmly eating their snacks in their strollers, the preschoolers hopping on one foot, poking their younger sibling, picking their nose - trying anything to make the wait less boring. Charlie wasn't bored for one second! And since Zach was off playing with Ipads at the Apple Store during most of the wait, he wasn't bored either. :)
You do all of this so that you can get some pictures of your son with life-sized remote control cars from his favorite movie:
^Finn McMissile, a character in the new movie - a British spy, voiced by Michael Caine. And, of course, Lightning McQueen himself, decked out for the sequel.
^Zach believes a spoiler is what makes a car a "hot rod" - so we had to get a picture of him with Lightning's new spoiler.
^Charlie investigating the spoiler, but mostly wondering what all the fuss was about!
Was it all worth it? Absolutely.

Awesome! How fun! Zach must have been in awe of his favorite characters up close and personal! It IS worth it! :)
Amazing how no matter what it is, the things that make them happy are always worth it. Fun post.
