- finn gerber
i think our entire family shared finn's sentiments.
we've all missed movie nights...even scoutie who was just a toddler
when we held them regularly in the backyard of our little beach cottage.
finally, after 10 months of being in the new {old} home,
we had our first outdoor movie night this past weekend.
thanks to our buddy nic, we now have a new {20'} screen
that we can project onto. it worked beautifully!
in the old days {as scout likes to say},
we had a much smaller screen and would squeeze
ourselves together so everyone could see it.
with this large screen, i don't think there's a bad seat in the backyard.
c set it up on the sloping hill which made it tall enough that the little ones
could get up and refill their popcorn and goodies bags throughout the movie
without blocking the picture.
to keep it intimate and more personal, we invited a select few:
auntie jen {of course}, some of our favorite families and friends,
and a few furry friends were there too. we munched on popcorn and
candy and sipped hot chocolate/coffee while watching october sky.
it was enjoyed by all.
it's the movie that never fails to meet expectations.
even after watching it a dozen times, i still get chills
and i still cry. {i just can't help myself...it's that powerful to me}.
~ next summer, we hope to have the pool heated and have
'dive in' movies so those who want to watch in the water can.
