Flashback: Dunes Movie Night






During the summer, Newport Dunes has walk-up movie night. They play family movies on a somewhat big screen on the sand. It's mostly for the summer RV/campers but the public is invited for free. We saw Nemo there last year, and the kids loved it so we made a point to go this year. We even managed to find an acceptable movie night before Andrew left town. So back in May we saw Cars. We played in the sand and roasted marshmallows, and our friends, the Maurers, joined us. We were a bit disappointed that for some reason they used a smaller screen on the back of some building rather than the big blow-up screen they used last year. And it turned out to be a very late night (Cars is a super long movie!) and did I mention it got really cold! But we had a good time and would do it again!
Some other notes on the evening...
I told Beth she couldn't wear a dress but had to wear pants and a sweatshirt. I guess I didn't make it clear cuz she still wore a dress...Gotta love this girl's determination or is that style?
The preview movie on the DVD was the re-release of Peter Pan. This was currently one of Adam's favorite things! (He actually hasn't seen the movie, just the sing-along songs and the story-book but he loves Peter Pan!) He was in awe over watching Pan on the "big screen" and kept pointing and yelling, "Peter Pan" much to the amusement of those around us.
