Saturday Movies:

Aaron, Rachel, Michael and I went to see this movie:


The Last Mimzy

This is from imdb.com:
The future is trying to tell us something.
Plot Outline:Two siblings begin to develop special talents after they find a mysterious box of toys. Soon the kids, their parents, and even their teacher are drawn into a strange and sometimes terrifying world.


We love SciFi stuff and this was right up our alley. The plot was really cool and the flow of the story went well. The actors were likeable. I especially liked the father, played by Timothy Hutton, who though busy, was quick to take time off for his family. The children did a great job with showing wonder and just being a regular pair of siblings. Joely Richardson, as their mom, was a woman who was genuinely worried about her kids and didn't no what to do. The addition of Nepalese mysticism was fun. This is a great movie for all ages.


My mother took Noah and Evey to see this:


My mother said that Noah and Eve laughed a lot, especially at some scene where one of the turtles skateboards. I was told that there was a kissing scene at the end, but luckily Noah and Eve had their eyes covered!

Michael, Aaron and the Scouts went camping at Mount Yonah in North Georgia. They had a great time and I hope to post pictures tomorrow.
