Movie Fun

The arrival of Cars 2 in the theatre has been long awaited in this house!
We were online one day looking at the characters from the movie, and saw that a second one would be coming out.
That was a year ago.
He pretty much has asked weekly since then, when we would be seeing the movie.
Its been a loooooonnng year.

Thankfully, since most of what the kids watch on TV is netflix episodes, they didn't know exactly when it was coming out and Rich and I were able to surprise them with an entire day devoted to Cars.
Breakfast started out with Cars cereal (which turned out to be red and white cheerios) and a little gift that I picked up for each one at Target. The gifts were 3 of the movie characters, and thank goodness Maeve opened up the girl one otherwise the whole meal could have been ruined.....

They spent the morning playing with their new cars, and then went to the beach with uncle and the cousins - nothing to do with Cars, but fun none-the-less.
Then we surprised them with the movie, complete with the cousins! Brynn actually guessed where we were going about 2 minutes before we got there. She is pretty good at that, and also HATES not knowing what is going on. (She totally gets that from her dad.)

While we waited for the movie to start, I handed out the Cars gummy snacks that I had picked up specially for the movie.

The family took up almost an entire row, and we didn't even bring #3 and #4!
I happened to look over at Rich at one point and he WAS SLEEPING, so I tried to snap a picture of him, but it didn't come out too well. That absolutely made the movie for me! It was pretty funny!
All in all, it was a really fun day! In hindsight, we should have planned dinner with the cousins, since that is the first question they asked when the lights in the theatre came back on, but besides that, I think they had a great day!
