Laila had never been to a movie theater, so we decided to see if we could find an age suitable film, and take her. The one we picked was "How to train your dragon", an animated movie in 3D. I can't remember the last time I watched a 3D movie, but it's safe to say that it's been a whole lot of years. 3D technology and animation have come a long way since I was a kid. (Yes, there was 3D that long ago). We arrived at the movie just in time to catch some of the previews, and things didn't start well, as the sound was loud and the 3D glasses were too big for Laila. I thought, this might have been a mistake, but when the movie started, the initial complaints disappeared, and all 3 of us really enjoyed the movie. It was a little intense at the end, but Laila acted like she really enjoyed this new experience. After the movie, we stopped at the children's play area, and I think that was as much fun as watching her first movie in a theater. For sure, she burned up some of that stored up energy, and after a fruit drink, we headed back to the fairgrounds for a long bicycle ride, where we watched some of the horse men and women doing the horse thing. This morning, Marc and Chandra will be coming by to pick up Laila, and we'll sadly say so long for about 5 months, as we head north for the summer. I'm glad we decided to start our trip here in Tucson, where the grandchild fix will make the summer long absence a little easier.
