Family Movie Outing
Movie show
The kids and I love to go to the movies. It is a family activity which everyone enjoys. Salted popcorn and Ice Lemon tea is the perfect combination to go along with a movie in a theater.
An indulgence which we restrict ourselves to every quarter, watching a movie is something that the kids really look forward to each holiday season.
This month we watched the show -How to Train a Dragon 2. The kids have been watching the cartoon series How to Train a Dragon on television and are familiar with the characters Hiccup and Toothless.
Vikings and dragons have been living harmoniously together on the island of Berk. Dragon racing has become their all time favourite contact sport which the islanders indulge in.
Hiccup isn’t one that fancy taking part in dragon racing. In fact, he is more interested in travelling through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds.
During one of his expeditions he came across a secret ice cave which was home to hundreds of new while dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider who he later found out was his long lost mother.
Both mother and son united in their bid to save the future of both men and dragons as they fought against the villain Drago.
With sheer determination and help from all the dragons the vikings managed to defeat the Drago and his wilderbeast and Toothless claimed the alpha position of the dragons.
In the midst of the battle Hiccup’s dad Stoick perished while trying to protect him. He was given a ship’s burial and Hiccup took over his father’s position as chief and protector of Berk.
I love the story line of this show. Hiccup was able to get around all his reservations and emerge a stronger person. He rose up to the challenge and proved that he had it within him to be a good chief like his father.
What movie have you watched lately?
Is there any upcoming show that you

I have watched the maleficent lately with my family and my little one surprisingly it didn’t freak her out to watch a movie on the big screen for the first time.

I haven’t been lately, but will probably take my grandson to see this one. We loved the first Dragon movie!

I’m not much of a movie goer. It’s tough for me to sit still for too long, unless it’s a horse story. My favorite part of a movie is the popcorn. I love popcorn. And lemonade. And more popcorn.

We haven’t watch a movie for a long time. I am not that sure if our son will enjoy watching at the big screen but we’ll see.

I heard this is really a cool movie! I’ve seen the 1 and hoping to watch this one.

My kids also wanted to watch this move “How to train your dragon 2.” However, we just watched the Maleficent and we can’t watch all the movies we want because of budget constraints. I’m glad that the kids enjoyed watching the movie.

Since our Grandgirls moved to Ireland I’ve avoided movies just like these. They make me sad. I’ll remember this one, though, because we loved the first one. Perhaps we’ll be lucky enough to see it together if they come back to visit!
The last movie I watched on TV was Cinderella Man and I loved it!
Thanks for a fantastic link for the letter F this week.
