Ugh! - - - Ahhhh!

Outside is just not a good place to be these days. What with the flaming chunks of firecrackers, the mosquitoes, the very high humidity, the mosquitoes, and the heat--it just seems prudent to spend time indoors.

So yesterday we took the kids to see Wall-E. Cute, very cute. Fortunately, our kids are old enough that when they ask questions during the movie, they whisper instead of holler. And fortunately, they stay in their seats, unlike a little boy next to us who went wandering around the aisle more than he sat down. And fortunately, our kids (meaning Julia) just cover their ears when there's loud noise, instead of scream at the top of their lungs, which is what the aforementioned boy did. Fortunately, the theater surround sound mostly drowned him out. Mostly.

We ate a little bit of popcorn and drank some lemonade and enjoyed the show. No mosquitoes. No humidity. And no heat (in fact, I had on flipflops and my toes were cold!). We should do this every night!

Please don't take the girls to any more movies. I also have been planning to take the girls to movies when they are here for their summer visit. I know it is going to be very hot. I also know I will have to do the Zoo the Museum. Boat ride if Allie is willing. And of course the pool. Thank goodness for the pool. Nan

Don't worry, Mom. As soon as we left the theater Julia said, "Let's go back and see that again!"
