Parenting Achievement Unlocked: Watch a movie at the theater

Back in November, J and I went to see Big Hero 6 just the two of us. It was a special prescreening that I scored tickets to in exchange for a blog post over at Canadian Blog House (you can read my review here). We both loved the movie and couldn't wait for the kids to see it. Fast-forward to a free morning we had during Christmas break and we took the kids to the theater for the first time.

We chose a small theater not far from our house and went to the movie and out for lunch after. The kids LOVED the movie and the whole experience, which included munching on popcorn. I was worried they'd have trouble sitting still for the entire movie or would be scared, but they didn't and they weren't!

Big Hero 6 is an animated action-comedy. It has some hilarious parts and is quite clever. You can't help but love Baymax, the fluffy, robotic health care companion. The kids are obsessed and quote the movie all the time, and make drawings of Baymax and Hiro. Little J even made a Baymax mask!

Baymax stuff.

The kids' first movie theater experience was a success!
