Hooray for Raleighwood!

Wall-e! What a hit with Mae! It was only the third time we've been daring enough to take her to the movies (and once she was a few months as slept through it)-- and this time we were brave enough to venture out with Ben, too.

In Raleigh, we have this WONDERFUL movie-dinner theater that shows movies just after they are out of the mainstream theaters but before they go to video. The admission at Raleighwood is a great price, and they serve meals at a table setting! It's a bargain, and a real treat! Plus, the atmosphere is more laid back making it easier to take little ones and in turn for littles ones to behave a little better than they might in a regular theater.

So, we picked a lunchtime showing and it went great. Only at the end did Mae need a few minutes in the back of the theater to calm down -- she got too excited when Eve and Wall-e were trying to save the plant with their friends -- and she loved it. But I think her favorite character was the little roach -- she kept calling out to him "bug!" Bug!

For those of you that haven't seen it, it's cute! And the Disney cartoon they showed just before it was worth the admission alone!
