#1 Chess Match: Ever seen a smart and active first grade boy play chess with another smart and active first grade boy? Like watching two boys on pogo sticks, talking smack to each other while constantly checking each other's kings without even noticing. Jack did win 3-0...so congrats to him. Imagine how good he might be if he actually focused ;)

#2 The Lego Movie: While we appreciated the previews shown over the last 12 months...really, they could have saved their money--they had us with LEGO MOVIE! It would have seemed like some sort of emotional parental abuse to not take Jack to see this on opening weekend. What we didn't expect was for the whole family to be wildly entertained. I even shed a tear at the end.

| Clearly a two-hour Lego advertisement--but done so well we didn't mind going straight to the store and getting a few Lego toys ;) |
#3 Ringling Bros and Barnum Bailey Circus: At one point I think Gary and I both were just a notch more enthusiastic than the entertainers themselves. But, the kids thoroughly enjoyed it. Jack's favorites were the human cannonball and the trapeze artists on bikes. Bronwyn spent her time picking out which outfits she liked the best and wondering when the Lions were coming out. She was not pleased with the Elephants and their smells--saying "I think THEY need a bath!"
