I love movies.  Sadly, over the past couple of years, I have barely watched any at all.  I watched more films over the week of spring break than I've probably watched in the last twelve months.  Can I just say it felt like catching up with an old friend?  It did and I am going to make a point to foster this friendship. 

Spring break was rainy, rainy, and rainy.  After cleaning all day Monday and Tuesday, I decided we needed to get out of the house Wednesday.  The girls and I lunched at the food court, window shopped a bit, then headed to the cheap movie -- so much fun under one roof!  The one roof thing was key as the rain was not letting up and I would have rather stayed home with three restless kiddos than get in and out of the car in the rain all day.

We saw We Bought a Zoo.  I loved it.  When it was a new release back around the holidays, my friends who had seen posted mixed reviews on Facebook.  Well, maybe not mixed.  Most of them didn't like it.  Maybe I liked it so much because I was going in with a low expectation, but I found myself just in love with this family.  It's a story about family more than about a zoo.  It isn't action packed or overly funny.  It's just right.
