Connor's 1st Movie Experience

As a member of The Louisville Hip Mommas Meet Up group, I get emails all the time about events in the Louisville area for parents of young children. A while back I heard about this Tuesday and Wednesday morning movie for only $1 at the Tinseltown in Springhurst. I thought for $1, it was worth a shot with Connor. The deal is, any age is admitted, the music is kept at a lower decibel, and the lights are not dimmed as dark as they normally would be! Sounded good!

We showed up about 5 minutes 'till 10 am (when it starts). After purchasing our popcorn (we smuggled in juice for Connor and iced coffee for mommy ... it was 10AM!) we headed to the theater. Surprisingly, they had us in the first theater in the hall, which is the biggest one. There were a whole lot more people there than I had anticipated, including some strollers with really little ones who had older siblings. It looked like a few day cares showed up, as well.

The movie was Veggie Tales: The Pirates That Do Nothing {yawn!!} but it had just enough action to keep Connor involved for about 45 minutes to an hour. I'm convinced that without the popcorn, animal crackers and apple juice, the timing might have been more like 5-10 minutes.... but whatever works!

I'm glad we gave this a shot, and we'll probably head back at least a couple more times throughout the summer because it's so cheap and something different to do! You should check out the Cinemark website for the theater near you to see if they offer this "Summer Movie Clubhouse" movie deal this summer!
