Last night my family celebrated my moms birthday with a trip to the movies. Cheney Stadium, home of our local minor league baseball team the Tacoma Rainiers, hosts free, outdoor movies in the summer. It was our first time going, and the weather was absolutely perfect!
We arrived at the stadium just as the film started- scheduled as "starting at dusk" which apparently meant 6:45pm. The Lego Movie was one none of us had seen...Im not sure I'd recommend it exactly, but it was pretty funny and had a nice message at the end. Awww, sniff sniff!
Now, growing up, one of the values firmly entrenched in me was; Sneak Food Into the Theatre. I've ptetty much incorporated that to mean sneak it into ANYPLACE I go, be it a ball game (no shells at my feet), play ( no crunchy stuff), even restaurants (who does that?)! We had every intention of continuing this tradition, but lo and behold, we were actually encouraged to do so!
Yea, a home cooked meal of organic chicken, rice, corn and sweet potatoes, freshly picked from the garden summer squash and lettuce leaves to wrap around each bite... and of course our own air-popped popcorn drizzled with olive oil and seasonings. Mm-nnn!
There are a few more of these movie ops coming this month; the next showing will be Despicable Me 2. Bring a blanket and let the kids run wild on the grass while you lounge in a seat behind the home team dugout. Remember, its a family event, so the beer stands aren't open. Bring your dinner and a snack- Cocktails not included!
