Movie with the greats

On Thursday, sis in law Lois, and I took 8 little kids to see the movie Mr. Popper's Penguins.  

We had 8 of the 10 kiddos, my great nieces and nephews and her grandchildren.  

(Anders, who lives in Durand, was missing as was Milena who had a dentist appointment.)

It took 2 cars to get all the kids from Luck to the theatre in Siren.

I was more nervous about this adventure than Lois was as she had taken some of the kids to the movie before and flew solo.

There was nothing to worry about.

The older kids helped with the younger kids, and the younger kids were great.

The youngest was 2 (she took a nap during part of the movie) and the oldest was 11.

Grandma came equipped with sippy cups for the little kids,
a snack pack for each,
and everyone was happy to share popcorn.

Everyone really liked the movie, Owen got a little restless during some of the parts but he did really well for a 3 year old.

When the penguins were on the screen, everyone was glued to the action.

After the movie, we went back to Gus & Lois's and I got a couple of photos with Grandma Lois and all the kids.

I took several shots, it isn't always easy to catch 9 faces smiling and looking at the camera.

Owen was changing his Kung Foo pose with each picture.

What a great bunch of kids.
Owen (almost 4), Emily (10) with Stella (almost 5) on her shoulders, Gage (9) in the Luck shirt, Jack (11) in the back,
Elliana (8) in front of Jack, Ruby (2)  in the stroller, Megan (7) in from of Grandma Lojo (older than me).

Owen was really hamming it up.

I just love Owen's pose.

Ruby was having lots of fun with all those kids around.

It was a really fun day for the kids and the adults.  

Lois and I already have talked about going again in July.

Hopefully we can take all the kids next time.
