Movie Review: The Flash

Last week, I got an email offering me and my fam some tickets to see a sneek preview of a new movie opening next weekend. The kids were super excited when I told them we were seeing The Flash!

On the way in, they had this incredibly cool popcorn tin and Curly was so excited about it that I couldn't say no. "The Flash" on my phone messed up my pic a bit, sorry about that...and the bad pun...

As we settled in for the movie, I expected to be amused and confused all at the same time.

My kids love all things DC, but other than the basics, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, I don't really know the characters. But I was pleasantly surprised, because this movie was awesome even with my limited knowledge.

The whole premise of what would happen if you could turn back time is fascinating and other than the scene with the butt cheeks, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Just for the record, we had family ranging from my sweetie and I and our bunch of teenagers to Bossy's teenagers and Skittles who is only 4 years old. Everyone had fun! Bossy told me Skittles was doing The Flash pose and then running for days afterward.

The actual opening day is June 16th, just in time for Father's Day weekend. Take Dad (and everyone else), you won't be sorry.

Adventures with Bossy - Gale Center

The kids are finally all out of school, graduation is over, and Bossy is still on maternity leave. She wants to go and play, but all three of my teens are at camp this week. So I recruited a rather reluctant Grandpa.

We started with lunch at the house and then we went to the library. We signed up for the summer reading program and I convinced Grandpa he needed a book while Bossy signed two of her boys up for library cards.

Then we were off to the Gale Museum, our own cute little building filled with South Jordan memorabilia. 

Queso loved the little train!!

I think he would have stayed there all afternoon, but Skittles loved the farmhouse, so we headed there next.

I beat Taco at checkers! Next time we are playing "jump your own man." It's way more interesting.

Bossy rocked her real baby in the little cradle. He was just the right size while the boys looked for eggs.

I convinced Taco and Grandpa to have a go at checkers and Taco beat him, but barely.

Bossy pretended to do laundry, so I tried on her "clean" bonnet.

We love the Gale Center and I love adventuring with Bossy.

Just one more...

Wordless Wednesday - Skittles at Summerfest

Chalk Art Contest

Bossy is an amazing artist in all sorts of genres, 

so other than a brand new baby, I wasn’t really surprised when she got the kids excited about joining her in the Chalk Art contest at Summerfest. They went through a bunch of designs before they finally settled on this one. 

They worked really hard!

They spent several hours in the sun and the rain.

Their design was beautiful and although it didn't win this year, they learned so much that will help them be competitive next year.

Love it!
