Have you ever seen Annie {If you haven’t, do.}? As a child, I adored this film. As an adult, I still think it’s pretty fab. One of my top three favorite scenes has got to be the whole movie sequence.
I mean, wow. They really knew how to make an event out of the movies. And, while the current trips to the theater sadly bare no resemblance to the spectacle Annie enjoyed, I was as giddy as a schoolgirl when Adam and I decided we’d kick off the weekend with a little movie outing for B. Barrett takes in movies en route to Grandma and Grandpa’s houses {or other longer car trips} via our portable DVD player. He provides a running commentary regarding Cars {McKeen!}, Madagascar {Gascar!}, and Curious George {Casisus Jerj}, so I have been very pumped for the release of Cars 2 … and Adam and I have discussed our anticipation to take him to see it on the big screen. With cold, rainy weather and a momma on restricted movement, we decided there’d be no better way to kick off the Holiday-extenda-weekend than to try out a matinee. Uncle Matthew had reminded me that Kung Fu 2 was being released Friday. So, Kung Fu Panda 2 it was.
The movie itself was fine but watching Barrett at the movie … I haven’t had that great of a day since the hogs ate my brother and I got his shoes {no. The hogs did not really eat my brother. That’s a Tad expression that I try to use whenever it applies.}. He loved the popcorn and was a total rockstar throughout the movie. He laughed out loud, and asked a few questions here and there {Where friends at? More baby Panda?}. He loved the baby panda and the “eakock” and overall enjoyed the entire experience. For me, it was more enjoyable to watch him than the movie. He seemed so full of wonder and was immersed in the visuals on the silver screen.
After such a truly enjoyable viewing, we are even more revved up to enjoy Cars 2 on June 24th. I doubt that movies will become a weekly or monthly occurrence for the fam but certainly a newfound fun treat to add to the list.
Our pics are not stellar but here are a few {very-overexposed} snaps:
