Harry the Dirty Dog

My sister had the wonderful idea of taking the kids to see a theater performance of the classic Gene Zion children's book Harry the Dirty Dog toward the end of February. It was playing at the Majestic Theater in San Antonio, so the kids and I made an overnight trip of it. Garrett loves the book, and Scout loves dogs in general. She hadn't had the patience to sit through the reading of the entire book, so she was always offended when we called the stuffed animal she loves so much, a dirty dog. After the performance, she understood. Now, she can tell us the whole story, including the parts when Harry gets really dirty.

We followed the musical with a day at the park, a nap and then dinner at Incredible Pizza. Seriously, Austin, why do we not have one of these? The next morning, we had breakfast at Jim's, which is becoming a San Antonio tradition for my kids. We finished by watching the old Disney cartoon version of Robin Hood, which my sister owns. It was a terrific weekend, as usual, with "Aya" and her guinea pig. Thanks, Andrea, for the great idea and a super fun weekend!
