Summer fun: Movie and popcorn

I felt like a Americana loser this 4th of July when Pearl asked me why we weren't going to any parties like everyone else? Driving by dozens of family get-togethers and BBQs on our way to the movies was kind of sad. I didn't have a good answer either... do I tell her the truth? We are losers or try to convince her that we could actually just stay home?

Anyway.

We took the kids to Madagascar 3. For FA-RE-HE! That's "free" in Jeff and Pearl's fun taunting voices. Yep. Free movie ad free popcorn! I had a few tickets left from my winnings at the Safe Kids Fair back in February. Boo-yah!

It's quite disgusting how much my kids like movie theater popcorn. Every time we get that ginormous, obesity and diabetes inducing tub I cringe. But, man! They love it. And pathetically, it's usually three-quarters of the way gone by the time the actual movie starts.
