Boat Rides and Movies

I am a poor blogger type and a bad Aunt. I forgot to grab my camera today before we headed out for a day of fun with the kids. (When I say we, I mean my sister and I).
I had this day planned, it was pretty good on paper and turned out to be better in real life, but I was a bit worried when we had to walk out of the movie. See, I planned a little Halloween movie and then a boat ride with our favorite sexy Coastie- great, good plan. Except that the movie was , ummm, obnoxious and we left. Okay, this was Spookly the Square Pumpkin, seemed harmless. However the first 35 minutes was nothing but long commercials for one PBS show after another and then the movie started and it was weird and dumming down the kids at the speed of light. I requested our money back and the theater manager was kind and understanding but wanted me to switch theaters and watch that Chihuahua movie, I think when I used the word "malignant"- he got the hint and refunded our dough.
THEN we drove over to the station where Les is on duty and we had a boat ride. A nice family boat ride out in the sun and fresh air. The kids got to "drive" and they loved it. I knew Ev would like it as she is a coastie-ette and we have her on the boats when we can and she loves every minute of it. I wondered about Brev but he , too loved it and now thinks Unkel Ess is the coolest thing. I wish that I had remembered my camera because the expression on B's face was priceless, he took it very seriously and did not smile one time, but he loved it.
It was a good day.
