You open this with such beautiful description of the two old men, John's grey hair, Carl being bald as a frog is a great line, it comes in so light hearted. The idea of them looking back on the summer, still friends all these years later is such positive approach.

The dragon costume sounds spectacular, and then contrasting it with the little girl, allowing them to paint it through her eyes brings an innocence to them looking back at the time they destroyed half a theme park, nearly killed a lot of people, and terrified a woman into falling in love with one of them. It brings a much lighter touch in, if only their attempt at a "lighter" touch had worked as well lol.

Ending it on the call for family dinner gives it a familiar feeling of closeness and intimacy, that brings it back to just being an every day moment between people who are so used to each other, it adds to the idea of years having passed, and John and Carl having remained friends, their lives growing alongside each other.
