The Sound of Music was one of my favorite movies as a child. Oh the memories of watching this movie with my mom. So when I heard that it was the 50th Anniversary of the Sound of Music & that the movie was going to be playing on the big screen at the movie theater, I knew that I wanted to take the girls. And how fun for them to see it for the first time on the big screen. I was so excited for them & they were so excited for the movie & the movie snacks :) Gracie wanted to make sure we got a big popcorn so that there would be enough for all of us. And Josie wanted to make sure we also got M&M's. We left early to make sure we got the best seats in the theater. We walk into the theater & the popcorn smelled amazing. We went to print our tickets & that's when we got the bad news. The ticket agent told us that they were having technical difficulties with the movie projector & that they wouldn't be able to show the movie at 2pm. And they weren't sure if the 7pm movie would be played either. WHAT?!?! Thankfully the girls handled the situation very well. Since we were right by Target I decided we would stop in to see if they had the movie. And lucky for us that since it's the 50th Anniversary they were selling a bonus Movie DVD with a sing along DVD too. So we bought the DVD & went home to make popcorn with M&M's & watch the movie on "the big screen" in our basement. They LOVED IT!!! The hills are alive with the sound of music.
Lesson learned...when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!!! :)
