(Ok, I know I am behind, but lets pretend this was posted in a timely manner.)
First of all,
We do NOT usually do the midnight openings of movies.
Camping out all day/night to sit in a seriously crowded theater to see a movie, yuck.
Well, I would rather wait til the next day and catch an uncrowded matinee' normally!
Well, I was informed by our youngest, that it was imperative that we go to this final installment of Harry Potter, the right way, at the midnight showing. She did present a good case. It IS the only book series that captivated the entire family for the MANY hours we have driven back and forth between Arizona and California. Not ONE whine, fight, quip, nada as long as Harry Potter was playing. The books really are magic. Also, we have gone as a family and seen all the other previous ones together. It was only fitting that we celebrated this last movie in the midnight hour, with others.
I couldn't argue.
Krystin even got a little bit luckier. One of her best friends since Kindergarten happened to be in California that day, and her Daddy allowed us to kidnap her for the movie and let her sleep over. So, we drove the 1.5 hours to San Diego grabbed her, came back and took the kids to the theater!
The kids did most of the waiting.
Todd and I would just drop off games and sustenance to them!
It was a very fun, lively environment.
Kayla was shocked at the cards she got!
and Yes...
They really did have 'special'
Harry Potter 3D Glasses!
and NO, we did NOT give them back to recycle, as if!
We arrived home around 230am.
Any guess what time these two went to sleep?
It was a wonderful night, with a wonderful friend!
Thanks for the 'insist' Krystin! (:
You were right. It was awesome!
