Snow! and The Lion King

Gazing out the window and commenting on each thing he can see covered with snow.


As a parent and as a person raised here, I have never seen anyone so absolutely delighted with snow! One would have thought it was chocolate drops falling from the clouds. I couldn't have planned a better time for this visit if I tried - except maybe one in a warmer season so we could explore the Statue of Liberty and other outdoor sites.


Waiting for a bus. Not owning a car is a concept beyond a 6 year old. What's with all of this walking? Where is your car? Any bus that went by -- "why can't we take that bus?". Charter busses, one going to the west side when we want to go north, etc.


We went to see the Lion King on broadway. My little mate kept asking why we were going to see that cartoon again. Once we were in the theatre he seemed wow'ed when the parade of animals came down the isle from the back and right past his seat. He enjoyed the singing, dancing, and puppet/people characters. It was sweet when he asked if there was going to be a sequel. I guess it is because he basically comes from a world of movies and not live performances.


Although photograph taking is strictly prohibited during the show I did manage to snap this photo of Keary as he sat during intermission. I never thought I would be able to see him sit stock still for 90 minutes but he did for the first act. Actually he was only restless during intermission. Once act 2 began he was once again transfixed. I think he liked it.
