Our First Movie

With Gage having turned the big 3 a couple of months ago, I thought it was just about the right time to venture to the movie theatre with him for our first movie. Since he's been into anything related to superheroes lately and has watched Transformers (movie and animated series) a million times, I thought Iron Man would be a good first test.

I bought tickets the weekend after the movie first opened, so that the crowds would be thinner. Gage and I hit the 10:20 am show at the local Cinemark, hoping that we would probably get no more than 20 people competing for seats.

Not only did we get decent seats, but Gage only got up three times (twice for the bathroom and once to catch a break during a lull in the movie). Given the movie was over two hours long and included about 20 minutes of previews, I would consider it a success.

I can't wait for the next movie. In the meantime, enjoy the picture I took of Gage in the lobby of the theatre, next to the massive Hulk figurine. I would love to steal that for my movie room at the house.
