Movies in the Park...

About a month ago... we had a wonderful family +1 night.  Blake had come home earlier that week and mentioned that the radio station that he listens to in the morning was putting on a movies in the park night for free... and they were playing "Despicable Me" and "Iron Man".  He was so excited about this (my man loves movies and loves to be outside) so of course we were going.  We also had a sleepover that night with one of our neighbors kid, Audrey (you have seen her before)... so she got to come along... hence "our family +1".

Here are the kids all ready for the movie to start... we got the pallet ready, food is coming, and the kids are happy... lets get it rollin.

Even these kids are happy for it to start...

We got there early to get a good seat... but so far it does not look that packed right... keep watching....

And have I mentioned that the weather was perfect... look at this sky...



It's getting a little busier... wow where did all these people come from...



The radio host kept saying that there was a surprise coming and sure enough when the surprise came we had to rush and get in line to get a picture... The first picture I have to keep bc it was when Blake's favorite radio host "the flying Dutchman" was helping Pierce get all situated...

And the real deal... so fun...

Compare this picture to the one above when there was no one... it is getting packed... and by the time the movie started there was barely a walk way left...

The kids were entertaining themselves before the movie... they were so cute...

Yeah it is finally dark and the movie has started... the kids were awesome... they watched the whole show and they both were very sad when we had to leave before 'Iron Man' started...


Another great night...

Waiting for Movie Night...

Movie Night is something our whole family loves to do.  Pierce's job is to help daddy pick out the movie, make the pallet and wait... my job is to pop the popcorn (and not to forget the treats at the bottom).  Here is Pierce waiting for a movie night... dad was not even home yet and can you tell how much light is still outside... lets just say we had a big wait but one happy boy for movie night.



Before daddy came home we all had name tags on our pillows and when the movie started (can't remember which movie it was) Pierce would run up and down the back of the couch to shake our pillows so it would feel like we were at a 4-D movie... can't wait until the next one.

3-D made for Kids!

On Sunday we took Pierce to see his 3rd movie, but his first 3-D movie... Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Pierce is in love with movies and dinosaurs so it was the perfect marriage. We had such a good time. Pierce sat in his chair the entire time and kept his 3-D glasses on about 90% of the time. He ate one large box of popcorn and one sucker and left with a smile. We have a saying in our house when we are referring to the Big Movie Screen, we say Big-O movie... and yesterday after church we told Pierce he had to take a nap and then we were going to wake up and go to the Big-O Dinosaur movie... he was ecstatic but he listened well and took a nap.

If you are debating on whether or not to see the movie... DON'T. It was so good and we all laughed the entire time and the 3-D was awesome.
