Take Me to the Movies

Thursday (St. Patrick's Day) was the day 

that we took Elliotte to her very first movie at the cinema.

It was Piper's second.

Normally I wouldn't have taken Elliotte,

as I don't think she's really old enough,

but it was a special family event for our local Family Place

where we go to play group and where Piper goes to preschool.

That meant cheaper prices for us

and Elliotte was free.

Why not make it a family day?

Especially after the brutal month we've all had with battling colds and flus!

Even Mark came along!

It was great!!

Elliotte sat back in her seat and said, "wow" when the movie started.

She was in a trance. 

Piper sat up happily with her little kid bucket of popcorn...

of which she ate three pieces.

Grrr.

Either way, 

the movie was a total success.

It did take place during Elliotte's nap time,

so she did get restless nearing the end of the movie,

but in all fairness, 

so did all of the other kids around us.

It was a school day, 

so all of the kids there were 5 or under.

We were all on the same page and dealing with the same things.

Watching Elliotte and Piper enjoy the movie 

was show enough for me.

They both giggled during the funny parts

and as Piper would say "popped up" during the startling parts.

So much fun!!

Even Mark enjoyed the show.

We saw Zootropolis.

We had no idea what it was about when we decided to go,

but were so incredibly pleased to learn it was all about the police!!

The perfect movie for Daddy to join us!

After the show was over,

Mark looked at me and grumbled,

"Carrots saw more action during her first week on the job

than I've seen in almost three years in PEI". 

Hahhaa.

Elliotte is not taking her eyes off of that screen to look at the camera!

This little one isn't afraid of a photo op!
