I forgot to mention that last night we saw Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.

Ever since we watched the Veggie Tales: Pirates Who Don't Do Anything movie last spring, we've been hoping to watch another movie in theatre. So when I caught the previews for Madagascar we knew we had to go.

Yesterday we had Christmas pictures done in Surrey and since we were already out that way, decided to watch M2 in the Imax theatre at Colossus. We grabbed some BK and the kids finished up in their seats in the Imax theatre. Man, it's a different experience in there. There's no music until just before the show starts. Then they play symphony type music. Davey immediately put his hands over his ears and started complaining it was too loud. "Just wait till the movie starts" his dad said. The second song sounded like it could have been from the Nutcracker ballet. As the first few notes sounded, Elisabeth sat up very straight and said, with a voice full of wonder, "It's my princess music!"

She loved the music and danced and bobbed her head until the laser light show started. Then she was terrified and sat stone still with her hands over her ears and her eyes tightly shut. I knew that once they saw familiar characters on the screen both kids would probably be very happy to watch the movie. And I was right. Davey was quiet for most of the movie, but Elisabeth laughed and clapped and sang, and danced and pointed...and tried to engage the teenaged boy next to us in conversation. I think it's safe to say they both liked it. But it was a late night for all of us and as we filed out of the theatre Elisabeth took my face in both hands and said, "Let's get out of here. I go bed."
