Outdoors Movie Night

Tonight Sarah and I (and daddy if he can make it) are going to Sarah's school for an outdoor screening of the Disney Classic "The Swiss Family Robinson". For those of you not familiar with this movie, it is a 1960 movie based on the Johann Davis Wyss book from 1812 about a Swiss family that shipwrecks in the East Indies on their way to Australia.

Disney World here in Florida actually have a Swiss Family "adventure tree house", a replica of the tree house the family builds in the movie that you can climb around in and explore.


Since this is an adventure movie with pirates and things of that sort, the school have encouraged the kids to dress up like pirates, so we will see what we can come up with in that category...

Everyone is bringing their own chairs, and there will be hot dogs, popcorn, drinks and movie candy for sale, as well as glow bracelets and things of that nature.

Should be a great night for an outdoor movie, we are bringing a couple of blankets to stay toasty just in case. The event starts at 6 PM and the movie at 6:30 PM. Sarah actually woke up by herself at 6:45 AM this morning, asking me if it was the movie day today, she is so excited!

Great way for the kids and parents to mingle "out of uniform". I am looking forward to get to know some of Sarah's classmates and their parents, since Sarah talks about them all the time, and I have only met a few of them so far. Fun!
