A Night At The Movies With The Kids

The article written by Alonso Kramer

One of my favorite things to do with my children is to take them to the movies. It's a great way to spend a night out on the town and there always seems to be a lot of great movies to see. Whether the movie is animated, live action or 3D, my daughters, ages 4 and 7, can't wait for our next movie night together.

We always take a look in the newspaper to find out what the best movies in the area are that are age appropriate and then the girls get to take turns picking a movie. We like to go to the movies at least twice a month, but if there is a big release that we have been waiting for, we will go more often.

Every movie night starts the same way at our house. We eat dinner, the girls put on some make up, they like to think they are older than they really are, and then we set our ADT security system in mobile AL as we head to our van. Once we get to the movie theater the girls always want to load up on pop, popcorn and candy before we head to our seats. If we make it to our seats before the previews starts it's a good night for us, and then we sit back and enjoy the show.
