Today Beth and I did something we haven’t done in...maybe ever. We saw TWO movies today. We took the kids to Goshen to see "The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything" at a matinee show, then a little later we got Katie to babysit and went out to dinner and to see "National Treasure: Book of Secrets." The Pirates movie had the exact opposite effect as desired: the kids were scared. The pirate fighting parts, the carnivorous cheese curls, the rock monsters...too much. Beth liked it but I thought it dragged and didn’t care for it much. National Treasure, however, I found very entertaining, maybe even more than the first one. I had no expectations for it, maybe that was the key.
