We took Katie to see Cars 2 late this morning. It was her first movie in a theater. She got up and down from her chair several times and asked to watch "Tangled" on my iPod once. But, all in all, she did pretty well for being only 2 1/2-years-old. It was actually not a very good movie to take her to. It had a complex plot about espionage that she couldn't understand and a lot of guns. I guess we need to do more research before assuming a kid's movie is okay for her.
After the movie, we went to BJ's for pizza. We ordered a small cheese pizza for Katie and a medium pepperoni and sausage pizza for ourselves. The cheese pizza came out, shortly followed by an apologetic waitress. She dropped our pizza on the way to the table. Unfortunately, we had to be back home by 3pm to meet a paint contractor. That didn't leave enough time to make us a replacement pizza. We were told that the beverages we ordered and Katie's pizza would be free. That was a fair compensation. Ben and I each ate a quarter of Katie's pizza, and we went home.
We were determined to have pizza tonight, but it just didn't work out. We drove to Zeek's pizza, but forgot that there was a community festival on the same block. That meant, no parking and probably no space inside. Ben suggested a couple restaurants we could go to, but we stopped at Prost West Seattle. Ben has wanted to eat at this German restaurant for several years and this was our first opportunity. Well, it was disappointing. First, they were out of the beer he wanted to drink. It was very sad. Second, the only thing they had on the menu that we thought Katie would eat was a pretzel. She took one nibble and said "I don't like that part." That just meant she didn't like the pretzel. My bratwurst sandwich was fine, but I'm not a fan of curry ketchup. Ben's thought his curry wurst would be served on a rye bun. Nope, it was served with two small wedges of rye bread on the side. Ben and I both ate enough to be full, but were not satisfied. Since Katie didn't eat anything other than goldfish crackers, we went through the McDonald's drive through to get her a burger.
