We contributed to the madness, boy did we contribute!

Hunger Games opened this past weekend (for those 10 of you who didn't realize that!) It was the third highest opening weekend grossing movie.  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows part 2 was number 1 and The Dark Knight was number 2.  152 million!

Tanner and his fellow tributes went to the midnight premier on Thursday.  He got home at 3:30 and still went to school.  Then Friday right after school, he went again with a group of friends because some of their parents wouldn't let them go to the midnight showing.
Cynjyn went with her friend Alexa Friday evening.  Saturday, Garry and I went to a 3:40 showing with the Hills, The Sawyers, the Shafers and their friends Lorie and Mike, The Osburns, the Andersons, the Thatchers.  Then Hills, Sawyers, Osburns and Thatchers and us went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner.  We had a great time and we all loved the movie.

Krissy came into town for her Spring Break on Sunday.  She hadn't seen it yet.  So we had to wait until Wednesday, Talon's day off, to go again.  Talon, Taz and Krissy hadn't seen it at this point.  We decided to go to lunch first.  Talon wanted Krissy to branch out and try something different, get out of her eating comfort zone, so he took us to Lemongrass cafe and Krissy, Talon, Taz and I had Pho and Cynjyn and Tanner had shortribs. 
Krissy wanted proof she tried something different.
Talon loves Pho!
Then it was off to GVR for some Hunger Games fixes!

Taz took a picture, this was the third one and still not too good, but that's all I have!
Here's proof Taz the picture taker was there.  They all liked the movie, Talon a little less since he'd JUST read the book, so he remembered way more than the rest of us, but still he thought they did a great job.
Worth the wait and made for a fun weekend.  We are still talking about it.

Way to make me feel left out!! I went to Trampis baseball game on Fri with dad, ky, kres and Beck. It was FREEZING COLD, with high winds. Ky and the kids left after 4th inning. We stayed until end of the 9-inning game! Then about an hour later, we went to Trey's basketball game and at 6:30 we went to another of Trey's games! Jodi came over about 9 and left about 11:30 The kids are still asleep and it's 9:30! Ky must be overjoyed--she actually got to sleep in. Of course, I have cleaned the kitchen, gone to the store, started dinner, eaten my breakfast and am now reading blogs!
