I had the day off last Thursday and since it was spring break I did not have homework like I normally would. This then lead me to the thought that I wanted to have some real fun with my family, so I set out to make this happen. We started the day shopping for bikes, this because we pulled out mine and the wife's bike and the bike trailer, in doing so, I tuned everything up for all the bikes and found that mine was not working right (something with the de-railer) and the wife decided she wanted a lighter bike, so bike shopping we went. After several stops, we decided that it was not time for new bikes yet, and that we would wait a little longer, till we have the funds to get the bikes we really want. While shopping around we landed ourselves in the mall and next thing I knew the wife had me buying tickets for the upcoming "Hunger Games" movie, did that and as we were walking away it hit me, I want to take my little girls (now 3 1/2 years old) to their first movie in a theater.
So I told the wife, and next thing I know we were headed back to the theater to purchase tickets. My little girls went to a movie when they were like 6 months old, but they slept in their car seats the whole time, so I did not count that. We decided on "Lorax" and we got the girls all pumped up to see a movie on the big "TV" and they were truly excited. I was really impressed with their performance, the movie started at 11:50am and that right their should have been a red flag, my girls normally go down for a 2 or 3 hour nap around 12:30pm each day. But to my surprise, the girls did really well, they sat on their booster seats the whole time, and during different singing moments of the show they even stood up and danced. All in all it was a real success, it was nice to spend time with the girls I love, and its nice to know they can handle a 2 hour movie without getting too restless or out of control. We just might have to do this again someday!
This leads me to the upcoming "Hunger Games" movie, it has been a really long time since I have been to a movie in the theater. Ask my wife, normally if I know that I am going to like a movie, I usually just save the money and purchase it when it comes out on Blue Ray or DVD, not so with Hunger Games, this was the first book series that I read for my own pleasure in years, and I won't admit this to the wife but I think I am more excited to see this movie than anyone, it is a great story and I just cant get enough of it. I reread the first book so that I was up on what happened, and so that I can compare the movie details to the book details. I think this will be the first movie that I have read the book first and will go into the movie knowing what happens before it happens. All I can say is EXCITED!!!
In conclusion, I enjoy movies, I love spending time with my family and I look forward to the date with my wife this weekend when we go to see another movie, its nice to take a break from life and everything around us every once in a while.
