4th Annual Movie Night

We have been hosting an outdoor movie night for the boys and all their friends for 4 years now. So far, we have been lucky enough to avoid the Highland wind that shows up regularly around here. This year, the wind caught us. The boys really wanted to have it regardless and we had friends showing up ready to pig out on candy and popcorn despite the wind. So, we decided to go ahead instead of rescheduling.

Luckily, she wasn't as bad as she usually is, and other than candy wrappers and popcorn cups blowing around the yard and a movie screen that folded in half a few times it turned out just fine!

We have decided though that from now on, we will be showing a double feature. One for the younger boys and one for the older. It is way too difficult to find one movie that appeals from ages 7 to 15!!
