Icee+Gummy Bears+2 Cookies+The Movie "Up" = :(

So this is how the title came to be...

Saturday was a big day for Cameron! We took him to see his first movie in a theater, which was the movie "Up." Cameron really got into the snacking part of it, he drank an entire large ICEE that we were all supposed to share, 1/2 a box of Gummy Bears, and then after we left the movie 2 M&M Chocolate Chip cookies. I think you get the picture, this is not going to end well!

From the movie standpoint, Val and I really thought he would enjoy it, and normally I think he would have if the movie was more interesting. About an hour into it, Cameron said he was done watching the movie...so I took him out into the mall and we did some shopping for him instead! Honestly though, I was getting bored with it too, it wasn't like "Toy Story" or "Lion King", so I didn't mind leaving either! What a let down!

So fast forward to driving my mom and niece home after they got out of the movie, and what do you think came out of Cameron's mouth? "Mama, I think I'm going to throw up." (Sorry if you get grossed out by this kind of thing!) So lucky us, we've spend the rest of our night dealing with that lovely issue.

So needless to say, next time we will be a bit smarter.
1. Don't let him stuff his face with junk for an hour
2. We will be sure that the movie will really be worth our time and one that he will be willing to sit through.

The sad part is...now I keep thinking, is this going to be his memory of his first movie and he'll never want to go back! :) Here are a few pics from the event...
There's the lovely ICEE!

Oh no.... I'm so sorry! Hopefully the next movie will be a better experience. :) At least he looked cute! :)
