Today Katie and Traci got to attend a really fun birthday party for our little buddy Lyla. The party was held at a movie theater, where the kids got to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the control room, munch on free popcorn, and watch Disney's "Brave." Since Katie has always been afraid of loud sounds, she had not been to a movie theater since she was about two. We didn't know what to expect. Thankfully, she was up to the challenge, even though the movie was a bit frightening (in the way that most Disney fairy tales are). During the movie, she started in a row with the kids, eventually made her way to a seat next to Mom, and finally finished the climactic battle scene safely on Mom's lap. Truthfully, Traci didn't mind one bit as she doesn't get to cuddle with Katie as much as she used to. (And, shhhhh...don't tell Katie, but Traci may have had a tear or two streaming down her cheek during the ending.) Afterward, we all enjoyed cake out in the lobby. A big thanks to Angela and Ben for letting us in on the fun! And, the good news? We don't think Katie has been scarred for life. She has agreed to go back to the movie theater, as long as the movie is a little less dark! As for Traci's review of the movie: You can never go wrong with a red-headed heroine!

Sounds like a cool party. I watched Brave with the boys at home a few weeks back and they were totally scared. Both of them were holding blankets over their heads during the more scary parts. We just watched Madagascar 3 and that was much more fun, and they've asked to watch it several more times.
