Movie Night

My boys and I went to a movie last night. Because most of the stuff that Hollywood churns out is mostly crap, the opportunities to take my boys to a movie are few and far between.

Movies are getting EXPENSIVE! It cost $8 for an adult ticket and $5.50 for a child's ticket. Since my older child is no longer a child according to theaters, I had to pay the $8 for him. And since the movie we went to see was in 3-D, we had to pay $2 each for the 3-D glasses. For the three of us to see a movie, without any refreshments, it cost $27.50.

We enjoyed every minute of it! It's fun to do something fun together. It's fun to do something out of the ordinary. It's fun to see their excitement--to feel the anticipation build. It's fun to laugh with them and react together and just enjoy being together. It's a small memory, but is that memory worth $27.50?

It was worth every penny.
