Kung Fu Panda with Marin

Man, is it hot out! Still, I had a fabulous afternoon with Marin yesterday. We escaped this insane heat and went to the movies to see Kung Fu Panda.

We got to the theater a little early so we headed to Maggie Moo’s for ice cream, but they were closed. Apparently the shop had lost power earlier in the week and all of their ice cream had melted. So we headed next door to Starbucks for black and white cookies instead.


Marin eats the chocolate sides first and then starts on the vanilla.

The movie was very cute – here is IMDB’s plot synopsis: It's the story about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda, named Po, who is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around...which doesn't exactly come in handy while working every day in his family's noodle shop. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po's dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five -- Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey -- under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master into reality? Po puts his heart - and his girth - into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.

After the movie, Marin and I watched the ducks for a bit and made silly faces at them.




Then we went to Carvel for treats and to cool off before heading home.



I had a fabulous day with Marin and will miss her lots when she goes to camp next week!
