Movie Night with Dad

Last weekend we had the idea of taking Everett to a movie.  He's never been to a movie at the movie theater.  We thought about all of us going, but new Jacquelyn wouldn't sit still.  She doesn't sit still for 5 minutes during a movie at the house, so there was no way she actually would at a movie theater.  We decided Todd could take Everett and they could go on a little Father/Son date night.  When we were planning it ended up being too late to catch any of the showings they had so we pushed it off till today.

Todd originally wanted to take Everett to Monster's Inc 2 3D, but of course this was the first weekend it wasn't at the theater.  So he decided on Despicable Me 2.  We had quite the adventure.  Jacquelyn and I were dropping the boys off and then we were going to go do some shopping.  Just after dropping them off I noticed Todd didn't go inside so I turned around.  Turns out their computer was down and only accepted cash.  We had done and our bank was about 5 minutes away.  The movie started in 5 minutes.  We knew we wouldn't make it back so we decided they could go to a later showing.  There was one just a few hours later, but it was in 2D not 3D.  The next 3D showing was after 6.  Todd really wanted to take him to the 3D so we decided to wait even though it'd be kinda late for him.

Everett was excited all afternoon.  Finally the time came.  Seriously this kid was excited.  Well, the show ended up being a little too late.  Todd said Everett feel asleep at the very beginning.  After about 10 minutes he nudged him to wake him up.  He did pretty good, but he did not want to wear the glasses!  The whole point of 3D.  Oh well.  They had a good time.  They got their own popcorn and treats.  Despite the set back in the afternoon everything turned out.
