First Movie

Brian had Tuesday off work for Veteran's Day. After getting our new camera we just couldn't make ourselves go back home. It was a grey, rainy day. We decided to go to "The Rock" for pizza. It happens to be right next to the movie theater. In an effort to pass the rainy day Brian suggested that we try to take River to a movie. Madagascar 2 was playing. We got our tickets and got settled in. River seemed to be excited about being there. The previews started and he was amazed. That wore off quickly. Soon, the seats became the most interesting part. In a effort to refocus him Brian took him to get popcorn. He liked that and sat still for about 10 minutes. A bit more restlessness a few attempts by us to point out the movie and now River is most interested in hanging out in the aisle. That didn't last long. He noticed that the theater is sloped and proceeded to run up and down the "hill". We decided it was time to leave. Really, we got through about half the movie and it was more success than we hoped for. Once outside River had a meltdown because he did not want to leave and wanted to watch the movie that he hadn't paid any attention to. I guess he had fun. Brian and I enjoyed ourselves too. It was a fun day and a great distraction from the rain.
