We got to go to the Theater!
Rylan was able to get us signed into see "The Lion King" at the theater he works for. We work at safety first in parking lots. I like parking up on the top of the parking structure at Lloyd Center. Especially on bright sunny days. The kids are pretty good about not running around where cars drive but I made them pretend they were little VonTrapps just to make sure they were staying together.
We actually didn't see the 3D version of the movie but was nice to see this Disney classic on the big screen again. It was the first time for these guys.
Had to buy some snacks (especially since the concessions are the only revenue that pays the employees' wages. Box office proceeds belong to the film makers). Large popcorn has unlimited refills. We sat 2 x 2. Danika and I behind the bigger kids.
Arcade Fun
The theater has a few arcade games against the lobby wall. It won't be long before they won't be content just sitting and looking at the displays on the screens and want to actually play. The girls couldn't even reach the pedals on this driving game.
I'm sure Wyatt would have enjoyed the simulated shooting of this one. He'll have to come back with Uncle Rylan one of these days.
Six little munchkins before church
Logan and Alyssa popped down for overnight. I made all 6 kids sit on the couch for a cousins' picture.
We've been toying with the idea of getting new living room furniture. I don't know if I can part with the perfect picture taking place. The upholstery needs shampooing but it has worn like iron. We got this couch given to us close to 20 years ago and it had already had several owners. It it one solid piece of furniture!
Practicing patience
It is so hard for the kids not to run in the halls at church. There is such a huge expanse of floor space. We make them line up against the wall while we pick up the nursery kids. There just isn't room enough for them to be in and amongst the parents and preschoolers in the classroom entry.
A peek of Fall color
I took a photo from the upper deck of the parking garage looking toward the southwest. There is a hint of color starting to show up. I love this season since it means it won't be long until winter!
Only 3 months til Christmas!!!

Fun! I didn't even know Lion King was in the theaters until I saw it on the marquee down at Lloyd Center. That's cool that you got to see it.
If only Ro could have had the patience to stand by the wall too. Ah well 3 out of 4 is pretty good ;)
