Fun Escape

After a rough week with "really hard math" at school and uncomfortable weather all week, both Timmy and I needed a happy break on Friday. To his surprise and delight, he logged out of school early and dutifully hopped into the SUV for an unknown destination. Timmy is my adventure kid and is always up for a surprise, so I knew it wasn't going to be difficult to convince him to tag along.

We first drove to Red Robin, his new favorite restaurant, where he consumed a double cheeseburger without inhibition. (He witnessed his brother tackle the triple two weeks ago and is pining to keep up.) After lunch we strolled through the mall and spent about 30 minutes picking a new book from the bookstore. At the end of the mall we found a movie theater and his Aunt Sheri! 

He was over the moon to see the Minecraft Movie. Apparently it has been quite the point of discussion among his classmates and Timmy was hoping to see it soon. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was chocked full of nostalgia and was a delightful movie. If you had kiddos who played Minecraft, I will tell you that the movie will probably jog a lot of core memories of the game being constantly played in the background of life.
