Movie Weekend

Two Movies came out this weekend that we were really excited to see. On Friday night we went and saw Mama Mia. Jackie and I had gone to the Broadway version when it was in Salt Lake three years ago and had so much fun, so we had been excited for it to come out on the big screen. It was a fun movie, not quite the same experience as seeing it live, but still a lot of fun. First time we have been to a movie theater in California on opening night that was actually sold out. We usually always go on opening night too. The theaters down in our area are never crowded. Anyway I thought Meryl Streep did a good job and you could tell she was having fun in the movie. On Saturday night we went and saw the new Batman movie The Dark Night. It was amazing. I think we liked Batman Begins better, but this one was still good. The Joker was extremely creepy and probably one of the best villains of all time. If you get a chance make sure to see it in the theaters. Be warned, it is very dark and there are some scary parts.
Saturday afternoon we had a barbecue with the three Skilled Nursing Facilities that are in Ventura County. We had an amazing barbecue and fun games for the kids. For the adults we had the egg toss as you can see below, relay race, tug o war, and pie eating contest. Jackie's facility took home the annual trophy. It was a fun time.
Me in the red with perfect egg tossing form, it's too bad my partner DID NOT have PERFECT egg catching skills. We made it to the final three teams and lost. Oh well........
Earlier in the week we had a "Couple Shower" for Tyler and his fiancee Jen. Some how I ended up being in charge of the whole event, don't know how that happened, but it turned out really well and we had a good time. We played some fun games, especially the ask them question game about their partner and if they answered it wrong they had to chew a piece of gum. Needless to say they both had at least ten pieces of gum in their mouths by the end. It was an eventful week. We are starting to pack as we will be moving to a different part of Ventura in August. It should be a hectic few weeks.
