Family night: 02/20/2009

This family night was Josh's night to pick. We went out for a rare trip to Chuck E Cheese. Not Dad's favorite place I have to tell you but we had fun nonetheless. We basically go there for the video games and pizza. Even when Josh was little, he never was really into the rodent of unusual size. :P

So we had some pizza, spent lots of tokens on games and hung out and had a good time. Then we headed back home. Once back we greeted our always-super-happy-to-see-us, puppy dog. After things settled down, Josh picked out the movie which seems to be all the rage on Nick right now Spectacular.

I have to say it was pretty good really. I was surprised. Yeah sure, lots of cheesy musical numbers but once you get your teeth set for that, you're okay really. The story was a basic one of morals, choosing to keep your promises even though it might not be comfortable; all that kinda stuff.

Not being a *huge* musicals fan, I still liked it. Cause wow, those kids can all sing and dance. Tis a far cry from The Sound of Music (which is a guilty pleasure of mine). The music, being more modern and upbeat was very cool. There was no language, it was an easy story to follow, and there wasn't any *sexiness* in it that would rule it out for younger kids even. It was just good, clean fun.

Later!
