First Day of School!!!

Emily went back to school today and she was very excited. She started 2nd grade and had a couple friends in her class. Her teacher seems wonderful. She is one of 16 kids in her class. Here area few pictures to enjoy! It was very dark out and raining really hard.

Byrd Theatre!!

This past weekend we took the kids to the Byrd Theatre to see the movie UP. I had never been to this historical theater but Ed had. It was so really cool to see this great movie palace that is more than 80 years old. The theatre hasn’t changed at all and although the seats weren’t as comfortable as the newer places it was great to see a historical place that was still functioning as it did 80 years ago. The prices for a movie in 1928 were $.25 for a matinee and $.50 for an evening movie and although our tickets weren’t that cheap we did only pay $1.99 per person. If you haven’t seen the movie UP, it was A LOT better than I thought it would be and we enjoyed it.

We also have a brand new drive in movie theatre we plan to visit in the coming weeks so watch for an update on that.
