We had to go cochrane to get our car fixed over a month ago and we tried to hit mcdonald's for dinner, but the place was closed for construction work. We went back again last week to get a few loose ends fixed up and decided to try again. Not only was it open -- it was the grand opening that day.
In addition to discounts on our McChicken meals, we also got to see Ronald McDonald IN THE FLESH. Most people were pretty excited to greet the clown and take his picture. In fact, we could hardly get to our table because the paparrazzi were jamming up all the aisles and doorways. As thrilled as most people were, Scott was fairly put off by Ronald's appearance -- especially the red hair.
Rather than eat his food, he kept a watchful eye on the celebrity guest and said, "I don't like Donald." That was before the magic show (which Scott observed from the safety of the play enclosure -- see top left corner of picture) and before "Donald" handed out prizes to all the kids.
By the time we left, Scott was heard to say, "I like Donald now." I think seeing his big red truck in the parking lot also helped win Scott's approval.
As for me, I'm still wary. I think Donald is up to something.

The expression on Scotty's face as he stands next to "Donald" is priceless. You can just see how he is trying to enjoy this encounter, but it is just not happening...yet.
Those pictures of Donald freak me out. Yikes. I'm going to have nightmares now.
I think clowns are so scary.
Ronald McDonald has always been creepy and more so in the flesh.
Hey, what's with all you guys??? Ronald McDonald is not scary. How cOme he is called "Donald" now??? Does this date me? Glad you had a good time, after all, Scotty, even if your dad was SCARED!
Scott called him Donald, but I think he still goes by Ronald most of the time.
