a surprise movie - 08/29

We went in to town on Friday to run a few errands - we needed a new cord for my laptop (the other one "died" Thursday), needed bread, etc - and it was a hot day (32*) again, so we brought along the kids' swim suits and towels to stop at the splash park. I called our friend for a minute and she told us about this special movie thing the town was putting on. Basically, they have a huge inflatable movie screen, as big as a drive-in screen, and they set it up wherever - in Brandon they were setting it up at the discovery center by the river. You come in your vehicles, park, and watch a free movie!
So, we decided to putter around town, letting the kids stay for a long time at the splash park, to kill time until nearer dusk (when the movie was to start). Picked up a few drinks and snacks - although we were surprised again because the movie theater in town supplied free popcorn and the city had free cans of pop!
We pulled the van in backwards, turned the back row bench around and we also had a couple lawn chairs (we'd brought them to use at the park).
The movie was "Alladin" - the kids loved it! A very fun surprise!
