As a special treat for Lanie,
today she got to go see the new Disney Pixar's Brave.
Today was opening day and after picking up a car load,
we were there a whole hour before the threatres even opened,
oops.
We wanted to be there early in case there was a HUGE line
but we didn't intend on getting there before even the theatre themselves opened.
Brave was such a good movie.
We laughed so much the girls had to take trips to the bathroom.
We even teared up and fought not to cry.
Instead of your normal stories about a princess,
falling in love and getting married,
its about one who wishes to choose her own fate.
After going through some extreme lengths,
she finnaly gets her wish.
Brave is the very first Pixar film to feature a female lead.
This film was deffinately perfect for the premier.
The girls enjoyed the movie poster
as well as the huge cardboard cutout scenery they displayed.
We took many pictures just goofing around.
This movie was such a hit
Lanie wished she could immediately buy it on dvd.
I loved that it wasnt a sappy story about finding your true love.
And the fact that Merida,
the main character,
shoot a bow and arrow.
Archery is something we have ourselves recently taken up.
Archery is also what gave me the idea for Shooting For Liam.
So it would be no suprise that this was one of my favorite
details about Brave.
Brave isnt just a movie for girls.
Its great for boys too.
Merida has three brothers (triplets)
who are a huge part of the comedy.
Overall I say this movie was an A+.

After seeing this movie
I thought it would be cool to do some Brave activities.
I searched Walmart for books,
coloring books,
ANYTHING.
Even went to the party section.
I didn't want toys.
There were no books,
except a tag book,
and no coloring books anywhere to be seen.
Weird considering its a brand new movie.
The party section had the basics for a party
but no activities.
This was frustrating.
So I went home and searched online.
I found a few activities that looked like fun.
The Brave activity book was a great find.
Lanie cant wait until I print it out for her.
There are recipes and a playset printable available as well.
Enjoy :)
