Saturday Fun

We were supposed to go swimming last Saturday for a family date. However, our kids have been sick over the past couple of weeks, and I wasn't feeling great. So, as soon as I got home from school, we decided instead of going to the water resort that we would go to the dollar theater and watch "Bridge to Terabithia".

We had a great time watching the movie, and of course we had nearly a whole row of tears near the ending of the show. Aylee never likes to show emotion. I asked her if she cried and she said that her throat had hurt during the movie, but that was it :).


After the movie, we let them play around on the arcade equipment for some time (the movie was about the innocence of a child's pure imagination, thus, we couldn't pass up the arcade room without letting them pretend that they were playing the video games.

I had to work that afternoon, but upon Amber's insistence, we stopped off at McDonald's before heading home and enjoyed a nice ice-cream code break as the kids played on the equipment there.

Our family date cost us about $7.00 for the day. It was a steal for all the fun we got out of it. It is a blast to have the kids all at an age where they still pretty much like the same things and really enjoy playing together.
