Movie Night July 2013

We promised our children that we'd have an outdoor movie night this year. Allen found a good date and set it all up. We made invitations/flyers and handed them out to people in the neighborhood. We mentioned that we'd provide the popcorn but they were welcome to bring any treats they wanted, along with blankets and/or chairs. We began setting up around 7 pm because we weren't sure how long it would take. Allen brought home a big inflatable screen with speakers and sound stuff.  The kids were all anxious to help.

 

We made lots of popcorn and put it in bags. We began wondering if we made too much but after everyone started showing up, we realized we were fine and actually made a couple more batches.

It took awhile for it to get dark, longer than we thought. So we began around 9:20 p.m. We watched National Treasure and by the time it actually started, we probably had around 50 people over to watch. It was fun and I know the kids loved it so it was totally worth the effort!
