Back from the pond...

Today since the kids were off of school I thought it would be good to get them out of the house and do something like go to the movies. They wanted two of their friends to go and they seem like good kids so I told them that would be fine. That way it gives me a chance to hang out with them and get an idea for sure what their friends are like. T the party pooper refused to go and told me I was on my own - thanks hon! Turned out to be a nice afternoon out - although when we got there everyone else in San Antonio decided to go to the movies too so the show we wanted to see was sold out. We bought tickets for the 3:30 show and I took the kids to get a Frap from starbucks since we had some extra time. I'm sure everyone was enjoying their coffee while relaxing to kids shouting "SIT DOWN YOU RETARD!"

Later, we made it to HOODWINKED - its a cartoon of Little Red Riding Hood with a twist. It had a couple of laughs throughout but for the most part I wasn't impressed with anything but the animation, that rocked. The kids gave it a thumbs up though so I guess that's all that matters.

This was the first time we've been to the movies here in the states in ohhh about 6 years so I was pretty impressed! Did you know THEY HAVE A VENDING AREA for soda refills AND a walk-up-to-me-and-pump-all-the-freakin-butter-you-want pump for popcorn!?!?! How cool is that?!? Don't freak out - they had all you can grab napkins too! :-)

After the movie they hung out in the arcade for a little bit and then we hit Evolution Skateboards so my oldest Kevin could check out the skateboards. He wants one for his birthday, I tried to talk him into the Wet Willy one - but he wouldn't go for it damnit.
