Summer Movies at CAPA

Last weekend we went down to the Ohio Theatre in Columbus for the first movie this year. "The Sound of Music"! Wow! I was so excited when I found out they were going to show it! We left earlier because we dropped off Sarah and Dad's entries for the State Fair. We also went to a really fun Mexican store. Looks like something out of FLA. However, the best part of the day was the movie! They got a bigger screen this year, so the widescreen movie filled the stage. The reels were really good, not to scratched or anything. It was wonderful! One of my very favorite films we've been able to see on the big screen! Even Mom enjoyed it. She didn't remember the story at all. I love the movie. (Julie Andrews reminds me so much of Mrs. Keultjes. Hard to watch her sometimes!) The only sad part was that it was over too soon! It was fantastic!

Today we went and saw "Gone With The Wind". Wow! If ever a film was made for the big screen, this was it! It was great! Sarah has been reading the book and just finished it last night. She has been telling us all about it and what is different in the movie. Sounds like they did a really good job.

The crowd was rather odd. They laughed at a lot of things that you shouldn't laugh at, and they rushed out as soon as Scarlett said "Tomorrow is another day"! Couldn't even see the end. Really rude, actually.

On the drive home, we got caught in an absolutely horrible storm! The highway was flooded and you couldn't see two cars in front of you. It was awful! God brought us home safely. I didn't like it.

I am really, really enjoying the movies at the theatre. We are thinking of going to see "The Adventures of Robin Hood" next weekend. We saw it in Cleveland last year, but it was so great on the big screen that we are thinking that it might be fun to see it again!
