Movies in the Park

We decided to try one of the free movies in the park that Redlands has been offering this summer. As we sat "people watching" before the movie started, we realized we were part of a unique crowd. There were many kids running around between the lawn chairs and blankets that had been set up. There was a group of kids near us who were beating each other with inflatable hammers that their parents had been suckered into buying for them. Conveniently there were several vendors who had set up camp nearby. Thankfully, things did settle down as darkness fell. After some fumbling around with the computer, the movie finally got going and we did enjoy most of "Rango." We all got a little tired, though, and decided to make our way home before it was over. Here's to trying a new family activity on a summer Friday night!

Have you guys gone to the Bowl yet? We did that often when I was growing up in Redlands. I noticed that they are performing Cinderella this weekend.
