Earth Day Movie!

Last Sunday was Earth Day and every year for the past 3 years Disney has released a nature film Earth Day weekend. And every year I have taken Kate to see it ( I know - I am such a teacher/nerd). Three years ago it started with Earth which was really good. Then two years ago it was Oceans which I thought was not all enjoyable! Possibly because I took Savannah who wasn't quite 3 years old and she squirmed and whispered throughout the entire movie!!! :) And last year I took both girls to see African Cats thinking that I could not go wrong! However, it was a little violent for a 4 year old and Savannah still had a little difficulty sitting still but overall it was good.

But this year was the year Kate and I were waiting for - Chimpanzee! The previews showed a tiny baby chimp growing up in the rainforest! I knew that Kate and I would love it and hoped Savannah would too!
Not matter how many times I tell her to stop moving because it blurs the picture, she just can't!

They are so excited to have their tickets in hand!
We rarely go to the movies anymore because we have Owen and Savannah even still has a hard time but I was thrilled because the running time of this movie was only 78 mins. I can do anything for 78 mins!! And thankfully there were only a handful of other people in the theater.

Everything basically went off without a hitch! Savannah enjoyed watching the chimps romp (are we surprised?) and Kate cried like a baby when Oscar the baby chimp lost his mother and was adopted by the older male of the group. And I bought them enough snacks to keep them happy and quiet for most of the movie!!! Finally - success!
