First Time To The Movies

We took the kids to the movies for the first time. I was a little nervous about the whole situation...I didn't know how Sophie was going to react- she likes some movies, but usually doesn't sit still for the whole thing, and I wasn't sure how quiet Zach would be- we all know how much he talks and how LOUD he talks! :)

We took them to see Shrek Forever After. I didn't want to tell them where we were going because I wanted to see their reactions once we turned into the parking lot of the movie theater. They were both in rotten moods when we left the house, but that quickly turned around once we got there. They were both excited, even not knowing what to expect.

Buying the tickets.

Buying the snacks.

We found our seats...well, it wasn't hard. We were the only ones in there! Lol! I thought, this is going to be great. No one will be disrupted if the kids are talking or moving around. But a few other people showed up before the movie started, but it was still okay. It was almost as if they weren't even there.


This picture cracks me up! You can barely see their heads. Lol!!

I think the kids really liked it. And they did really well. A lot better than I thought. Sophie switched seats a couple of times and was more interested in the popcorn and coke a few times and Zach did a little talking/asking questions about the movie, but that is to be expected. They are only 2 & 4!!
So I guess it will be a definite that we will be seeing Toy Story 3 when it comes out in a few weeks. :) Zach and Sophie have been watching the first two like crazy. First it was "The Sandlot" and now it is "Toy Story 1 & 2."
