Nowadays the children like to go to the Meet and Greet sessions at the malls to take photos with the latest movie or cartoon characters. A recent one is Ice Age 4. This weekend art class was on holiday, so free slot to go for photos :)
爸爸 dropped me off at Queensbay to get the photo pass. Usually the photo passes are given out 1 hour prior to the meet and greet session. Then he rush off to school to pick up 姐姐. I waited and waited around, there was no one at the counter yet. I even saw the people playing the characters walk by carrying their costumes and they said hi to me :) The folks giving out the passes only start doing so about 30 minutes prior. There were quite a few parents waiting for the passes too. Finally manage to get our pass and started queueing, without the children yet! They came just as the session is about to start and just in time too. Very funny, somehow we dressed them in Madagascar t-shirts to attend Ice Age 4 photo session. 姐姐 even had to wear her school shoes as we forgot to pack her slippers.

First it was Q&A session. The emcee was kind to give hints before starting the session. I mean, I didn't watch any of the Ice Age cartoon even the children did, and they could not even remember the characters names. That's exactly the question asked, name the characters of Ice Age 4. I whispered the names that I remember to both 姐姐 and 弟弟 and they get the merchandise. They were mighty happy they manage to answer the question. It's Ice Age 4 stickers and colouring booklet. As the emcee had a stack of the goodies, after a couple more questions she distribute to all the other kids :)
Then it's the characters time. 姐姐 said the elephant Manny uses its feet to "pet" her head, and she high-fived with Manny before she went down. 弟弟 said he pulled Sid's fur and called him "Hello, silly" to Sid, and Sid made face at him. Unbelievable, this is just in a couple of minutes and they still remember.

After that, we went for lunch at Sushi King. The children chose this as they like the ice-cream here.
