Wednesday June 30: Finally - Toy Story 3

It was only the second time that was the charm. We made it to see Toy Story 3 - us and about a hundred little kids! If you haven't been to a kids movie where there are actually a lot of kids, try it sometime. They are almost as funny as the movie (as long, of course, as the kid behind you isn't kicking the back of your seat :-))

It was an uphill battle - literally - as my mind clearly wasn't focused on getting us to this movie. And everyone knows what assumptions do anyway. So I assumed the theater was at the Orillia Mall, right? Wrong. It at a shopping center directly west instead of north. We were on bikes again - Steve said it was a test and I passed at least. Didn't rain - just a convoluted way to get where we were going. We left at 2:30 for the 4 pm show. Arrived at 3:55 and found it didn't start until 4:30. But really? Riding all over Orillia (again lots of up hills) for an hour and a half to reach a point that was really only about 20 minutes away. Yikes!

Anyway, the movie was good (maybe not as good as the first one) and as I said, the kids were very entertaining. Steve still managed to get some work done (I was very heavy into a book) as he continues to work on the flybridge steering wheel.

Boats are starting to make their way in for the long weekend but in particular for the Canada Day Parade downtown and the fireworks tomorrow. High today was only 62 degrees - even ran the heat for a while! Sunny but lots and lots of wind.
