I was hanging out with Danny when reminded me he has never been on a Bachan date. At March's family gathering he brought it up again.
"Bachan?"
"Yes?"
"I have NEVER been on a Bachan date."
Perceiving this may be a big deal we talked about it. He wanted to go on a Bachan date and DID not want to wait for Christmas. He said it would be ok if Papa came too. He wanted us to eat Red Ice Cream. We talked with Arielle and scheduled it immediately - 3 days after family gathering.
Michael and I went and picked up Danny. He was wearing a little jacket we had purchased for Benny, it matches Michael's. He thought lunch sounded like a good idea, so we went to Dairy Queen. We thought maybe the red ice cream he wanted was a cherry dipped cone. I was impressed he chose milk and applesauce over soda and fries. We didn't even have to prompt him.
An added bonus of DQ is its the only place in town with an inside play area. Danny met some new friends and enjoyed playing. He DID say maybe Charles and Benny should come next time....Papa and Bachan just aren't climbing through those tunnels. LOL
DQ was a hit - but red ice cream is NOT a cherry dipped cone. Our last hope was a trip to Big Dipper - a local ice cream hangout. Danny ordered a RED ice cream cone - strawberry ice cream. I asked him if he'd ever had any and he said he'd tasted some with his Dad. Mystery solved.
We had a great time with Danny. We need to have more grand dates.
