SQUIRREL!!

As I mentioned in an earlier post we won tickets to see a preview of the new Disney movie 'UP' that opens tomorrow. Tuesday evening we headed out to see the movie at North Hills and thought we were doing good getting there at 6:15pm for the 7pm movie...were we wrong!! There was a line that went through the lobby of the theater out the door and down the through courtyard area to the street!!! We got in line and that is when I noticed the "fine print" on the tickets..."Seating is limited to first come first serve, no rainchecks will be given...yada, yada, yada" I looked at Chris and told him I would be surprised if we got in from the looks of that line. Finally at 6:30 they started letting people in and we slowly made our way into the building and through the lobby and turned in our tickets only to be given new tickets and told to go stand in line again. Just before 7pm they started letting us in the theater and thankfully we got in!!

Chris and the kids and I found some seats and waited for the movie to start. It was a really cute movie, funny and sad at times. The animation was really good but of course it is Pixar so there was no doubt that it would be good. The kids LOVED the film as did Chris and I. There was only one thing that I had a problem with and that is how did the kid get on the porch b/c he clearly was not there when the house takes flight!! I would definately go see it again and suggest that everyone take their kids to see it too. It was nice to get away for a couple of hours and enjoy some time together at the movies. Thanks to WTVD for having the contest!
