Family Fun

All 4 of us went to see Tangled on Tuesday. It was a fantastic movie full of great music and LOTS of funny lines. Yesterday, John, Monica and Clara went to see Voyage of the Dawn Treader. It was very exciting with some scary moments.

We saw a preview for Cars II. It looks like it will be good a good one.
