Late Night Date

Ben's working the night shift now and he had a day (or night rather) off but didn't want to reverse his current schedule too much so we decided to hit up a late night movie. Since most baby-sitters are trying to end their nights by 10pm (which was when the movie started) we made it a family affair, banking on the fact that Miles would be asleep and sincerely hoping that Avery would follow suit. Nevertheless we picked a movie that would be appropriate..or more correctly, wouldn't be inappropriate if she did manage to stay awake. We are lucky to have a dollar theater within walking distance (we drove) which has been really fun for the kids and I, we recently saw Ratatouille and the Bee Movie. Since M. doesn't know that he loves watching TV and movies yet, it's nice because we're not ruining anyones $9, first-run movie experience if he decides to get loud and he's not ruining my $9, first-run movie experience if I have to take him out.

The movie we saw was Dan in Real Life w/ Steve Carrell and Juliette Binoche. It was really good. Definitely worth the dollar. It was funny, yet touching and real. A movie that men and women can appreciate equally. AND, they managed to keep it clean! I recommend it.

When we were getting our tickets the gal that was selling the tickets mentioned that she remembered seeing us on the Big Island. Avery was playing with her daughter in the pool at the mega-resort. We also ran into a family from our ward when we were there. It's a small small chain of islands.

We saw that movie, it was funny. the only problem was we brought Noah. We have learned it's a big mistake to bring him!
