Ornery SeaDawgs and Happy Feet

After dropping Jonah off at camp for the big Aquarium day, Elisabeth and I had day two of mommy-daughter time. We started of our day with breakfast at Chick-fil-a, where she got to make some friends on the playground while I read a book. Afterwards we went to the Mayfair 14 Regal Cinema for the Summer Movie Express. Regal schedules family movies in the mornings on Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout the summer. Elisabeth and I had a choice between Dolphin Tales and Happy Feet Two. We chose the latter, having already seen the first. With my Regal Card, I earned a free small popcorn which was an added bonus for Elisabeth as I was initially planning to skip it. We both had a lovely morning.


The movie ended at just the right time for us to make our way over to UNC-W to pick up Jonah. When I arrived, there were only a few SeaDawgs left who were awaiting rides. Unfortunately, one of the instructors said Jonah had some trouble "listening" today - joy, joy! After hearing the details, I found it to be yet another example of why it's perhaps not a good idea to put 20 similarly aged young boys together in one room on a regular basis - this idea could not have originated from a parent! Exalting pirates may not be helpful in such an environment either!

Well I found another diversion for myself and Jonah so I'm not sitting home twiddling my thumbs waiting on the arrival of Baby Girl Davis. Regal cinemas are having a Free Family Film Festival, where you can take the family into a movie for free. They play 2 different movies at 10 a.m. for 3 days a week. They will be doing it every week this summer through the end of August. Click here to check participating cinemas in your area. I took Jonah to the Beaver Creek Stadium cinema this morning to see The Bee Movie. He actually sat through the whole 90 minutes. They had a deal for the festival of $1 drinks & $1 popcorn. So I got a Diet Coke for me and a popcorn for him. He pretty much munched on the popcorn the whole time. He was so cute. He barely held the foldup seat down. So in case you were wondering those movie theatre seats are for 29 lbs and up :-)
