Horton Hears A Who

This is what I will deem as Ryan's first movie. Yes, he "saw" Talledega Nights and 2 other campy movies when he was a baby but nothing since he has become this walking and talking character! As a family, we have tried to do a Family Night once a week, usually Thursday. Sometimes life gets in the way but not this week. We went to the mall and saw good ol' Peter Cottontail (pics coming). Had a little dinner thanks to Chik Fil A. And then o to the movie. Ryan was a little apprehensive when we walked into the big theatre. He actually stood out to the side on the ramp in watching the previews, which was A.O.K. with me. That's a big screen and it didn't help that the preview for Ice Age was on and Ryan cried just a week earlier at the dinosaurs on the Epcot ride. So Allen got the seats and I waited until he was ready. And finally he was right before the movie started. Perfect timing. We got him seated. Bribed him to stay seated until he got "invested" in the movie with my little friends, M&M's. And finally, he got it. It was a movie. He cheered. He yelled. He clapped. He did great! He even stayed to watch the credits. Nothing exciting there but he thought so. And I had my camera there to capture the Easter Bunny pics, so here are some! (and yes, the theatre was virtually empty so I didn't feel like such a heal).
