Zane's First Movie at the Theater

As a continuation of the birthday festivities, we decided to take Zane to a full-length feature at the local movie theater.  We decided on Madagascar 2.  

Overall, he did a great job sitting through the whole movie!  The only distracting part was that he had to get up to go to the bathroom four times!  Jody and I took turns taking him, but it wasn't that bad.  I mean, usually, when Jody and I see a movie together, we don't really eat or drink anything.  They are way overpriced, and we usually eat dinner beforehand.  But we wanted Zane to have to whole movie experience, so we got him popcorn and a sprite.  Holy crap- if you have never gotten a drink from the theater, beware of the sizes!  A SMALL drink had to have been like 30 ounces or more!  Really, it wasn't a surprise that the kid had to pee so often!  But with that aside, he enjoyed the movie, and he even danced when some of the parts of the movie had music. 

It's cool knowing that he's old enough to take to the movies now, though.  Someday, Gage will be old enough to take, too, and we will be able to have a family night at the theater.  (But we will have dinner first... and no gigantic drinks!)

Here is Zane, proudly holding his movie ticket!'


He is looking in awe at all of that popcorn!

We took Olivia to see "Horton Hears a Who" this summer and she did good, too. We had the small drink problem too, and even Olivia said, "Mama, I can't drink all that!" LOL. :)
