No Movie

[captain_slinky]

Had big plans to go to the Regal Cinemas Free Family Film Festival this morning with Molly, but when we got there we were told that "Horton Hears a Who" was full-up. This caused many, many tears. So we got in to the truck and went across the street to the AMC Theater at The Mall in hopes of seeing something kid-friendly. I was even willing to PAY to see something like "Up" again.

Unfortunately, the closest thing to "Kid Friendly" that they had there was rated PG-13 (Land Of The Lost). GRRRRRRRR!!!

So in to the mall where we bought a few shirts @ The Disney Store and spent an HOUR playing in the playland there.

I know it was a beautiful day and she should have been playing outside, but all the parks that we usually frequent are DEAD during the day. This wasn't really an excuse to get her out and exercise so much as it was a call for some social interaction. SHE LOVES OTHER KIDS. I *need* to get her in with more large groups of kids like that. She loves it!

We may try the movie again tomorrow if we're feeling up to it... Molly's still a bit under the weather and I am fighting it HARD.

I do the exact same thing with playgrounds. I will often go to Alderwood instead of an outside playground just so Caleb can be around other kids. We should coordinate.

yes, lets! Any interest in the free movies, or just play time at a designated area where we'll at least know SOMEONE in the area instead of having to do the stand-away-in-the-Dad's-Corner thing?

The lady i am trying to coordinate with right now has a daughter that's Caleb's age, too! Could become great fun!

Caleb has a hard time sitting through a movie without making everyone regret the attempt. If they every show Cars or Finding Nemo we are there because I KNOW he'll sit through those!

The show at Lynndale park does look interesting. I think we'll try to be there for that.

We're planning on going to Lynndale Park in Lynnwood tomorrow because there's some sort of jugglers/entertainment deal going on... I'll keep you updated as I find more info...

Parks won't be dead now. School's out. We were at Forest Park in Everett today and it was a ZOO.
