Up

Yesterday we got a babysitter for Daniel, and Will and I took Abby to see the new Disney/Pixar movie Up. It was WONDERFUL (and this from someone who never used to like animation).

This morning Abby, Daniel and I got up early and spent the morning outside. (It was a GORGEOUS day today.) We acted out the movie (well, I sat in my chair and drank coffee and pretended to be a grumpy old man -- not much of a surprise, but I'm very good at that particular role) and had a great time. 

Abby finally set her house down beside the enchanted apple tree (located somewhere in South America).

If these pictures make no sense to you, you really should go see the movie. You might even cry (I did twice)!

A funny end note to this story -- when we came home today after being away for several hours, we found the tent on its side by our fence. Our neighbor Truda explained that the tent took flight and landed in her yard today. She said it was a real sight to see!
