Kendal’s 1st Movie July 14, 2009
The theater up the street has a summer movie program for kids – $3 for a movie, popcorn and drink. They show one movie a week on Tues & Wed. A couple weeks ago, I decided I wanted to see how Kendal would do at a movie. So, Lori & Morgan, Amy & Ava and Kendal & I set out to see Horton Hears a Who. We had no idea how the girls would do, and I think we were all mentally prepared to leave early. But the girls did fantastic!
When we arrived at the theater, Maria’s Mom joined us with Julianne and Christopher. We all headed in for our mini bags of popcorn and mini drinks. Unfortunately, we were all running late, so the movie had already started when we arrived — we clambered to our seats and got settled. The theater was packed, we had to sit in the front section, but at least we got to all sit together.
Kendal started off in my lap – she was so excited about the big cartoon in front of me. I handed her a snack trap filled with Cherrieo’s and milk. Eventually, she seemed interested in sitting in the seat next to me. I brought her booster seat for just this occasion. I plopped her in her seat and she was content to watch most of the rest of the movie from here. Of course, I had to sneak a photo during the movie – unfortunately she choose to take a sip at the same time. But I didn’t want to use a flash too many times during the movie.
It was so cute and a lot of fun! Kendal’s 1st movie was a great success. I believe she will be a movie lover like her Mom & Dad!
