Riding High at Bass Pro


Photo-A-Day #3645

This morning Andrew and I got haircuts. Andrew used to sit real well to get his hair cut and now he’s squirming all over. He doesn’t like the clippers so Amanda didn’t use them. He still had some issues with the whole thing but eventually she was able to get him completely cut.

After our haircut we visited The Pastry Shop and picked up some Easter desserts like Bunny cakes and chocolate covered egg cakes plus some cookies.

After that it was earlier enough for me to take Andrew to Bass Pro Shops. I took him to meet the Easter Bunny only to learn that he wouldn’t be there until later in the evening. So, instead of meeting the Easter Bunny we went all over the store taking photos and Andrew tried out every one of the ATVs and other things to climb on and pretend to drive. He had a great time.

Then we went over to Red Robin so I could get my Birthday Burger. Andrew got his corn dog and then didn’t eat any of the corn part of the corn dog as usual. He impressed the people around us as he counted things randomly and then picked out the shapes of the lights. He was naming off colors and shapes and numbers. Just generally being quite cute.

No dessert of us but I gave Andrew one of the cookies that we bought earlier. He never got to it. He passed out dead asleep for hours. Gave me some relaxation time. No April Fools jokes on me.

Ever since seeing Iron Man in 2008 I have made movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe my favorites. That first movie was amazing and I couldn’t get enough of it. I watched it a few times in the theater and even dragged my dad out to see it as well. There were so many great moments in that movie. Then at the end there was the first of the “stingers”, those little final scenes at the end of Marvel movies that every fan knows to wait for. In that one we meet Nick Fury and learn that Tony Stark’s Iron Man is not the only super hero out there. Oh yeah, more movies were coming!

Fast forward to 2014 where I’ve watched every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie and rabidly consume every bit of information about upcoming Marvel movies. Allison and I watch Marvel’s Agents of Shield and Agent Carter. Then an amazing thing happened. I was invited to LA to participate in a press tour to view Guardians of the Galaxy and interview cast members like Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista and director, James Gunn. It was an incredible experience. A once in a lifetime trip.
