My birthday was this past weekend (44) and my parents, my sister, and her family came up for a visit. I usually try to plan something for us to do – paint your own pottery and bowling have been fun in the past – but I thought about a movie this time. The tricky part is finding something the adults will enjoy that won’t be too much for my young nieces.
So, I picked Trolls – which was still just barely in the theater. I figured the fun music and bright colors would be good for the nieces and I hoped the humor would be on a couple of levels so the adults would enjoy it too. Not sure if my Dad and brother-in-law liked it – and my youngest niece was a little worried about the Bergrens and the trolls getting eaten. But, the trolls saved the day and everyone was fine.
We went out to eat, hit a craft store, and had birthday doughnuts. And Thundercat was pretty entertaining as well – with no bloodshed!
So, a good visit and a happy birthday.
