Fly me to the.. well, not the moon.

So, I forgot to tell the story of Emily and I going to the movies last weekend, so I thought I'd recap here. I had been waiting for Fly Me To The Moon to come out for some time, because I thought Journey looked so cool, but not quite Emily's speed... So, I got tickets to the Moore theater, and we headed up.

We got our goodies, and headed for the grand auditorium.  She was amazed at how big everything was, but more excited about how she could sit in the seat by herself without it folding up on her:

So, right before the movie began, I told her we needed to use our new glasses to watch this movie.  I expected a little fight, so that was okay.  By the time the movie began, she would at least hold the glasses close to her head to watch through them which was at least a small step in the right direction.  Then the first 3D jump out and grab you scene happened, and there went the glasses, flying through the air toward the head in front of us.  My ninja-like-reflexes allowed me to grab them before doing any damage, but the real damage had already been done.. I tried to hand them back to her, and she replied (very politely, I must say) "no thanks, I like the movie like this."  Well, without the glasses, it's like watching the screen through six different bottles stacked one in front of the other...

I let her go for a while, and I knew she was tolerating the movie just to keep from putting the glasses back on, so I tried a little more, she put them on once or twice more, but kept saying, "I can see daddy! I like the movie like this!"  So then I asked her, "Emily, would you just rather go home?"

"Yes please."

So there we went.  We had ben there about 45 minutes already (half the movie was over... and.. it wasn't worth watching even with the glasses.. SNOOZER if you ask me), but I thought might as well take my chances with the ticket counter, so I walked over, explained that Emily really didn't go for the 3D thing, and they immediately refunded all my money.  I LOVE THIS THEATER!

I didn't add the pictures of Emily's "Back" to School night, so here's a picture of her in her classroom (eating her treat after the scavenger hunt).
