Family Movie

We had our first outing to the movie theater as a family a couple of weeks ago. The Lion King 3-D was playing, and we figured it would be a great first movie for Taelyn since she has already seen it and we know she will sit through the movie. But we decided to go at the very last minute and did not have time to get a baby-sitter for Kaelia, so we attempted to bring her to her first movie too!

As soon as we walked in to the entrance way of the theater, the girls ran over to some larger than life chipmunks from Alvin and the Chipmunks as Justin bought the tickets and I waited in line for snacks. Taelyn got her very own kids' snack tray full of popcorn, a Slush Puppy, and some candy. Kaelia and I got a smoothie to share, and we were ready to watch.

Once in the actual theater, the girls were even more excited. We all had 3-D glasses to wear, and Taelyn screamed and reached out the grab the "snow" and other particles during the 3-D previews. Both girls did a great job watching the movie as well. Then Kaelia and I took a little walk outside for a while at about half-way through the movie. Taelyn needed a short break a little later, but then both girls came back in to the theater to finish the movie.

We had such a nice time at our first family movie and are looking forward to the next one. Apparently Happy Feet 2 is coming here in 3-D, so we will have to put that one on our calendar!
