We had a good crowd of friends, (Brayden, Caleb, Olivia, John Michael, Alex and Anthony) to see the new "Kung Fu Panda" movie last night.
Po, the Panda was there as well as the Newberry Blackbelt Academy to paint faces and give info and demos. Grandma watched Evan so it was just Evie and I... how fun!
Here she is with her favorite boy, Alex and the Panda.
We loved the movie and rather than tell you about the cast and plot, I'll let my man Jack Black show ya!

"Horton Hears a Who"
WOW!
Evie and I went to the movies with Hope, John and John Michael tonight and saw "Horton Hears A Who". This has ALWAYS been a favorite story of Evie's, we read it so often that we can probably recite the whole book from cover to cover... (this one plus "Horton Hatches the Egg" and "Green Eggs and Ham").
So we were excited to see the movie and it didn't disappoint! The best cast that you could ask for and the animation was fantastic! The opening scene of the "Jungle of Nool" had me mesmorized.. I felt like I was there - the images were so crisp and colorful. So you have Jim Carrey (Horton), Steve Carell (the mayor), Carol Burnett (who was amazing!) as the hmpf-ing kangaroo, Amy Pohler, ( mayor's wife) and one of my favorite actors, Seth Rogen, as Morton the mouse. You have the Wickersham Brothers and Vlad Vladikoff.... classic story! They changed nothing! Just added to it! Evie and John Michael laughed alot, (they both know the story very well), and Evie told me on the way home that this was her favorite movie of all time so far.
So I hunted on YouTube when I got home and found this cool 7 minute sneak peek into the movie.. no spoilers (you already know what happens in the movie if you read the book anyway), just a great preview!
GO SEE THIS MOVIE!
