Movie in the Park

Last night a local park had a Movie in the Park night and they were showing…. 101 Dalmatians!  So.. you KNOW we just HAD to go!  That is one of Grace’s FAVORITE movies and even though she has seen it almost 101 times, she could watch it everyday!  She had never seen the unanimated version with Glenn Close, but I knew that she would love that as well. 

So, the girls and I headed to the park with Pongo, Perdita, Patch, snacks, drinks, chairs, a blanket, the camera and other things for a night of fun.  We got there in good time and got GREAT seats with a nice view.  After setting things up, we got popcorn, played on the playground and swings, and then did a few activities that the park set up for the night. It was hard waiting for it to be dark enough for the show though.  It turns out that the small camera I had was the favorite pre-movie activity… as you will see! 

Making dog collars….they wore them on their wrists.

Grace climbed UP the pole… using gymnastics muscles of course!

Hannah enjoyed climbing and climbing….

Sampling her lemonade… I guess passes the test!

Oh, and I put Patch IN my popcorn bag! HA HA!

Me and my girls

They HAD to get a few of just me….

Getting close to show time…. and trying NOT to be sleepy!

Silliness…. wearing Perdita’s collar!

The show didn’t start until after 9:30 because they needed to turn the lights of the pavilion off… and it took them a long time to figure that out.  Many families left, but we stayed until the end and didn’t get home until 11:20!!!!!  I hoped the kids would sleep in this morning… NOPE!!  Oh, well!  It was WELL WORTH the memories!!!
