At the Movies.. Curious George

I took the children to the movies this afternoon. I have not been to a movie theater since "Forest Gump" came out. I can't even count how many years ago that was. The first shock I got was the sticker shock.. $5.50 per child or adult! YIKES! Then on to the popcorn and sodas. The size of the jumbo drink! The size of the jumbo drink! The cost of the popcorn and sodas! I was reeling. Am I the only one who thinks that something is very wrong? I completely refuse to buy into the necessity of eating while at the movies.. okay maybe a small popcorn between the kids and okay a small drink. Next onto the BK for a late lunch. Total cost of out outing $45.00 and that is with me getting a small hamburger, no drink.. for my lunch. Next time I'll by 4 DVDs off ebay and a box of unpopped corn.

The movie was cute, but can't decide which age group enjoyed the movie the most. The baby slept, the 3 year old played with her chair, the 5 year old almost slept (she said the movie was too loud for her to sleep) and the 12 year old thought the movie cute. I think they make kids movies way too long these days. 86 minutes is too much for anyone younger than 4. In my humble opinion.
