Get Smart, Get Laughs

Today we decided to have a family outing at the movies to see Get Smart. It was hilarious--the whole experience, not the movie! Viana and Brooke did just fine . . . until the previews ended. Then we made the mistake of passing the popcorn by Brooke, and you know she's obscessed with food. All she could do was suck down popcorn and Sprite like she hadn't eaten in several minutes. So Vick had to take her to crawl in the breezeway of the theater, which she did for 14 laps (to burn off popcorn and make more room, you know). Meanwhile, Viana wanted to see what they were doing, and wouldn't sit still. So I took her out into the hallway. Finally, Vick hit her limit and decided to take the kids home. But before they went (Vick decided to let me and the girls stay and watch the movie), Viana wanted to warn the girls--so she stood in the door to the theater and yelled at the top of her lungs, "Summer and Krista, we're going home! We're going home now!" I'm sure I made matters worse by laughing histerically. We actually did enjoy the movie very much (soo funny) and Vick and Viana and Brooke took a nap under a tree while we watched the movie. When we got home, Viana cracked us up again by announcing that she wanted to "watch a movie." And when we said we were going to eat dinner, Brooke perked up with delight. Here's a few pics of the girls, and a short video:

In the video, Viana is reinacting her famous proclamation: Be sure to see Get Smart if you get a chance . . . but leave the kids at home. :)



And here's a video of Vick's perspective on the experience:




See you at the movies! Love, Dad
