We had an exciting weekend that started with Jazz in the Sculpture Garden with the Kallaur family, Emily, Paul, Sam and little Lara. The girls enjoyed a little salsa dancing, bubble blowing, and a delicious picnic before heading over to our first (if you can believe it) trip to Dairy Godmother this summer for frozen custard.
On Saturday night, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of Katrina's favorite childhood movie - the Goonies - for our annual outdoor movie night! In honor of the hunt for pirate treasure, the kids were led through a hunt for clues throughout the house to find treasure of their own (no booby traps - that's what I said! - though). The kids were great at working as a team to decipher the clues.
What starts with 't', ends with 't', and has 't' in it? No, not a toilet Jack! A teapot - as Evie guessed correctly to find the next clue!
Once all the clues were found, the kids got right to work putting together the pieces to form the treasure map. X marks the spot! Note the singed sides of the map - mom had an interesting time with the lighter this morning - luckily the whole map did not catch on fire!
Ellie is having a blast on the hunt - or maybe it was all the gummy worms and gummy bears for our ice cream sundaes?!? After the hunt the kids went to town with multiple flavors - no rocky road though - whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and candy galore to make the most sugary sundaes you could imagine.
The kids proudly hold up the treasure map and bags of their bounty of jewels and gold blocks (of candy)! Well done, treasure hunters!
Then it was time to sit down and watch the movie, which Mom has seen so many times can practically quote every line. The kids particularly liked the scene where Chunk confessed all his misdeeds through the years.
There were some scary parts, but amazingly Evie actually sat through most of the movie. It must have helped to have Ella nearby. Ellie, however, did NOT like the scenes with the Fratellis. In the end, everyone seemed to have grown to love Sloth! HEY YOU GUYS!
Daddy provided comfort to his two girls during the scary parts. It was an awesome night with our lovely neighbors and we are already planning our next movie, which if the girls get to choose, will be "Annie" of course.
