Movie Night at Lavell Edwards Stadium

Beginning last year, BYU has had a movie night at Lavell Edward's Stadium, where families can bring their blankets, pillows, etc., and sit on the grass to enjoy a family friendly movie. This year, they showed Big Hero 6 on Friday night (the 13th!). We decided that even though it was late (the movie started at 9pm) we would go for a while and leave when people started getting tired. By people I mean Henry. 

We had a blast. We got there just after 8 so we could get a good spot (good thing, too! It filled up!) and enjoyed running around on the grass. Henry ate almost a whole bag of popcorn, a ton of fruit snacks, and some oreos--and that was before the movie started!

My favorite part, though, was running with Henry across the field. He loved running on the white lines, and yelling "Touch down!" any chance he got. Every time he said it, he would lift his arms above his head, and then touch the ground. Literally touching down. It's awesome. 

He also got the new BYU football promotional poster, which he was super excited about. He kept unrolling it and looking at it. We hung it on his door, and he loves looking at it. 

Johnny fell asleep pretty early on, so Derek and I took turns sitting on the blanket with him and then running about with Henry before the movie started. Once 9 o'clock hit, the lights went off, and the screen on. It was really fun, watching the movie! Henry actually watched a good portion of it, and then ate his snacks the other bit. Johnny woke up about 9:45 and wanted to eat, so I got him fed, and then we looked at the time. Almost 10:15. We decided that it was time to go home while everyone was still happy--end on a high note, as it were. 

We packed up all of our pillows and blankets and fruit snack wrappers, and headed out to the car. We had a GREAT time and I can't wait to do it again next year!

The next two pictures are of Henry doing "touch down." First hands up, then down to the ground!
