The final day (Thank Goodness!) of our special family time. We took it easy and simply took the boys to see Ice Age at a “real” movie theater. They loved it!! We normally don’t take the kids to movies and IF we do it is always the $1 movie so I don’t feel like I’ve wasted money when if my kids get bored part way through. So here we are at the Cinemark:
Notice Connor trying to hide the fact that he has started sucking his thumb again. (ANY suggestions please shoot them my way!) Dan and I weren’t too impressed with the movie. It was just OK. They boys thought it was great though. Of course, it has potty humor, what boy wouldn’t love that?
Saturday night for our final activity we took the boys to an Orem Owlz game. They got free tickets through the summer reading program at the library and have been dying to go. Surprisingly, I LOVED it. Minor League Baseball is so much more entertaining than Major League.
With our extra tickets we took my brother and sister, Chard & Krystal. It was great having them to help distract the boys. Garrick wasn’t sure about the whole thing, but did pretty well despite the cold weather. (Okay, who would believe having to wear jackets and have blankets at the BEGINNING of August. It felt like I was at an October football game!)
What baseball game would be complete without peanuts? Oh yeah, and then the peanut catching contest!
One of the main reasons we decided to go to the baseball game Saturday night was because of the “marriage” ceremony between the 2 mascots for the Owlz. Hoot and Holly Owl were “married” after the game (try explaining that to my 5 year old) and they had fireworks to celebrate.
The fireworks were not that impressive (we saw a better show at our neighborhood shindig this year on the 4th), but the kids loved them and there were free cupcakes (wedding cake) after the game for the kids. So it was all good.
