Our weekend turned out really nice. After our wonderful Saturday, Sunday we got up and went to church and then went out to Krazy City in the Tri-County Mall. We went in and bought our points and then went to Skyline for lunch. We went back and played games and rode rides for a few hours. The kids loved it. I haven't laughed as hard as when the kids rode the dropping style ride. Oh their faces were hilarious!! They loved it and rode it a second time. The also loved the Tornado!! We played mini golf and bowled and we won lots of tickets in the games. It was lots of fun. After that we went home and Steve downloaded Enchanted on his Xbox and we watched that in our theater. I didn't enjoy that movie very much. Some of the themes were just not what we encourage in our home. But it was something "Abby wanted to see, so we watched it. Then we had our usual Sunday dinner of spaghetti.
Monday we stayed home until lunch time. Then we ate a quick lunch and went to Ikea so I could get some storage tubs, they have the best price on tubs for kids rooms. Then we went to see Prince Caspian in the theater. We finished the book Monday morning. I have to say, that this movie was a whole lot different than the book. The first movie had a few differences here and there, but this movie was very different. In fact, if you have seen the movie or plan to, I would suggest reading the book, because so much is left out in the movie. I don't know how people can follow the movie without knowing all the things that happen in the book. I was a little disappointed with that. Especially since they added a whole other battle scene to the movie that was not in the book, instead of maybe adding more of the actual story. The movie is 2 hours and 20 minutes long, but I didn't feel it at all. I did enjoy the movie, but I liked the book much better!
I think we're going to take a break from Narnia for a little while and I think we're going to read Treasure Island next. We do want to finish the Narnia series though, there's 7 books total and we have 3 more to go. I just want to change it up a bit now.
So anyway, after the movie, we came home and Steve took the kids down to the theater and they watched a Star Wars movie and I went to CVS and Kroger and then came home and we had dinner. It was a very nice weekend, I'm sad it's already over!! I can't wait for the 4th of July weekend, we're going to Gatlinburg for Steve's family's get together!! Very exciting!

sounds like a fun weekend. Now, get to work. you have a hard job ahead of you, an important one! Save us some money already!!
It sounds like you really had a fun weekend. The game and ride place sounds like a lot of fun. Is that a year round thing?
The pictures are great.
Glad you liked the movie. I want to start reading that series. I don't think I ever got past The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and that was ages ago!
Have a great day!!
Your weekend sounds awesome! I'm glad you had a nice time with your family.
I liked the book better too.
Krazy City looks like a lot of fun!
I watched some of the first Narnia, but I really am not into movies like that. I liked what I saw, but I'm not eager to watch the rest and see the second.
Glad you had a great weekend with the fam. I am looking forward to 4th of July too!
