So for the past couple of months, every time we go to the mall or there is a preview on TV for the movie “Big Hero 6”, Max has been mentioning that he would like to see it. Last night, Jason had the idea to take the whole family as a new pre-holiday tradition.

Max has only been to the theaters once before and it was when he was pretty little. Gwenyth too, has been just once before but was also to small to remember. We had faith that Max would make it through the movie but planned on Gwenyth not making it very far.

This was a surprise to Max and even as we were getting popcorn, I don’t think he was fully aware of the fun he was about to partake in. He was instantly impressed, as was Gwenyth, and they both thoroughly enjoyed the Disney short that preceded the movie; it was about a dog who liked to eat.

Both kids had a small cup of popcorn and as Max sat in his own seat, enthralled with the film, Gwenyth was lounging on my lap, more focused on getting the popcorn into her mouth. Eventually, she did loose interest and we walked the halls for the last third of the movie.

As we were walking about the theater, she made a new friend. She was so pleased to be able to reach and touch the dog on the “Annie” advertisement.

Overall, the experience was great and we even topped it off with a trip to the Pizza Ranch. Great addition to our holiday lineup. 😉
