Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Tonight was such a special time for our girls. Lillian finally got to see a real movie on a real movie screen. The best part was the movie was outside on Merritt Lake! It was a cool evening and a perfect night for an outdoor movie. We didn't know what to expect since we have never been to an outdoor movie, but we thought it was finally time Lillian had the chance and of course, Lydia had to go too! She doesn't go many places without her big sister!

We thought the movie started at 7:00pm, but only the festivities. The girls played a few games and bounced in a bounce house. We also walked down to the lake and fishing dock. The girls all now want to go fishing, so we need to find those fishing poles! :) Finally, it was time for the movie to start at 9:00pm. It was getting a little dark at this point and made it even better for the movie! Poor Lydia only made it until 9:30pm and she was exhausted. It is so hard for her to keep up with her sister and she gave it her best shot. But, I ended up taking her home and Rich and Lillian were left to watch the rest of "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs."

When I left tonight, the popcorn was eaten, the water was almost gone and they had moved on to a bag of chips and M&Ms. We also had some friends come with us to the movie, so luckily they will give the clan a ride home! :) I can't wait to hear all about the movie when they arrive in a few minutes. Lillian was so excited and I hope she enjoyed the whole movie. And you might ask why we waited so long for Lillian to watch a movie....you only need to know my hyper active daughter and you can answer that question for yourself!

Love you all!
