What are they doing???

I thought that we could play a little guessing game. You can guess what Ben and Grace are doing, sitting in their chairs, wrapped in a blanket, with big smiles on their faces. I will even give you hints.
Things I overheard while waiting for the big event: "this is going to be great" "aren't you excited??" "we should pretend we are having popcorn- and not the puffy kind. REAL popcorn!"

Have you guessed? Are they watching a fun movie? A favorite TV show? Reading a special book, or listening to a fabulous story? No, no,no and no.

Are they spectators at an amazing event? I guess that would be accurate, if you were 3 and 5 and lived in northern MN.

I will now tell you, as you will never guess.

They are waiting for the garbage truck to come back and pick up our garbage.

Huh.
