Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

On Saturday we went to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at the movie theater. We got our tickets for free from First Colony Mortgage so it was really great that we didn't have to spend money to go see it. Our movie was at 9:00 on Saturday morning. Which was actually really nice because Addison ended up sleeping through most of the movie. I am scared to take Jacklyn and Addison to movies because they are a little crazy, but the morning showing was great. I think Jacklyn may have taken a little snooze through the movie too. Since we got our movie tickets for free we decided to spend some money and get some popcorn (which is Jacklyn's favorite snack) and a drink. Then we sat down and watched the show. Jayden really liked the show a lot. He said it was really good, and I would have to agree. It was definitely a good movie. So I would recommend watching Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to anyone who hasn't seen it yet. With that said, everyone have a great weekend.

Movies in the Park

Every summer in Springville they have a program called Movies in the Park. What they do is every Monday night in the summer Springville puts on a movie on a huge projector screen and anyone can go and sit down on the grass and watch the movie. It's basically like a drive-in movie just without the car and radio. This weeks movie was Horton Hears a Who. It was a pretty good movie. I believe it was written by Dr. Seuss. Micah really liked it because it had a viewpoint similar to Carl Sagan. He said he wanted to buy it. We all went to the Dollar Store before the movie and bought glow sticks because the kids like to wear them during the movie. When we got there we laid out our blanket on the grass and snuggled up so the mosquitoes wouldn't bite us and watched the show. Jayden does really good sitting through movies now, but Jacklyn and Addison don't quite have the attention span yet. They had a booth set up and were popping popcorn. I didn't bring any money otherwise I would have bought some, so we will have to bring some to next week's movie. We have been going to this for the last few years. It is tons of fun and the kids love it. It is definitely a great family night activity.

We had a fun thing happen to us today. Micah was outside to water the lawn and he saw a baby bird on the ground that had fallen from his nest. Micah showed me and the kiddies and we all went over to inspect him. I got to pet him a few times before he started hopping away and trying to fly. Micah kept trying to pick him up to put him back in his nest, but he kept trying to bite Micah every time he did. The mother bird kept flying around chirping at us. It was fun to see the baby bird. Addison was especially excited to see the bird down at his level. Fun times. Just a side note, thanks Dad and Tyna for the family pictures you sent us in the mail. We got them today and they look really nice. Bye for now.
