A Very Veggie Movie Premiere

Posted in Family

This morning we packed up the children and took them on a little mystery trip. Telling the children we had a very special surprise for them, we drove to a church south of the city where our local Christian radio station was hosting the Pittsburgh premiere of the newest Veggie Tales movie, "Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah's Umbrella". Since our children (especially DS) are fans of the wacky veggies, we decided to brave the crowd and hope that seeing his favorite characters on a big screen would distract DS from being overwhelmed by people and keep him quiet. Praise God our hopes were not unfounded! I knew DD would do fine, but wasn't so sure of her little brother. However, once he realized the Veggies were on that big screen, he sat spellbound and largely, quiet! Sure, in his excitement he bounced and flapped his hands, but in the relative darkness of the auditorium, it did not distract anyone. Whenever he did turn around on my lap to tell me a word he heard or something he saw, his voice was masked by the movie and sometimes another child nearby doing the same thing. He made it through almost the whole movie. I had to take him out during about the last 5 minutes because he wanted to get down and go and was starting to get anxious. But even then, we got to see the last part of the movie because there were TV screens in the lobby outside the auditorium. God is good!

Thank you for the review. I didn't know they had a new one out. We are huge Veggie lovers at our house.
