We took Eva and Andrew for a playdate with friends over to a playground that I recall from my childhood. It has been cleaned up and has a great jungle gym for the kids including a zipline. Eva even went and played on that a few times. I lifted her to the handle and she held on for the whole ride. I am so impressed at how well she maneuvers the playground now. She climbs so well and enjoys playing on a lot of the high stuff. I still get a bit nervous watching her as she plays and I do make sure that I am pretty close to her.
We played for a while at the playground and the kids had a wonderful time then we went to Bliss Bros. Dairy to get some ice cream. I had a Chocolate Frappe and it was incredible. I haven’t had an actual ice cream based frappe/shake in forever. All the kids had chocolate, too. And for three kids under 6 chocolate is a funny thing to manage. They were a complete mess.
Before I go any further I must tell you I was flown out to the Monsters University event, put up in a hotel and meals were taken care of by Disney. Opinions of the movie and anything I did while there are 100% my own.

When I attended the Monsters University Press event in California last month I had the unique opportunity to be able to sit in on an interview with the movie’s producer, Kori Rae. I say sat in on because I did not actively ask any questions. My fellow attendees did a great job of asking questions and I couldn’t think of any. I’m much better one on one with people and not in a big group. I didn’t catch Kori at the reception after viewing the movie like I did with the movie’s director Dan Scanlon or with the director of The Blue Umbrella, Saschka Unseld. I’ll tell you more about those conversations when I write about those experiences next month. This post is about Kori Rae and what we learned from her. And by the way, Monsters University comes out on June 21, 2013. Then you can see what I’ve been talking about for the past month.
