Fall Movie Bash 2013

Tonight was another big night for the kids.  Everyone gathered for a classic movie at the auditorium, watching the movie "Cars."  It's been a while since Madison has seen the movie, so she enjoyed it a lot.  We were hoping something similar for a lot of the other kids too.  We were in a unique position this time around because there weren't any new movies out for home release, other than "Epic," which the kids already saw at Summer Xtreme earlier.  So we went with an older movie, which turned out to be okay.

Madison and all the other kids had popcorn, candy, drinks, and a fun time!  We asked trivia questions - like what was Mater's original color?  We gave away prizes and just had a good time watching the movie.  Afterwards, there was quite a bit of popcorn to clean up!

The rest of the day, we spent at school or work.  It was a fun day for Madison, who enjoyed school today.  Madison had science today, talking about animals.  SPEAKING of which, we have seen this week both a DEER in our front yard and a TURTLE!  Daddy was a bit more excited about the turtle, even wanting to name it Yertle or something like that.  Daddy walked Madison over to the tree in the front yard, telling her to look for an animal of some sort.  She yelped when she saw the turtle.  He was a big box turtle, somewhat nervous about us as most turtles are.  Still, he marched along and off into the woods.

Life is full of teachable moments - it was nice little treat on the way to the movies.
