NorthWest Crossing Hullabaloo!

6.27.08
A new "community" in Bend called "NorthWest Crossing" was holding an "unofficial kickoff to summer" and we thought we would join in the festivities. They had a live band, food, and the best of all: A movie in the park. The movie which was playing was The BEE MOVIE, one of Trey's favorite movies of all times!

This community is beautiful. They have huge, gorgeous homes, eateries, shops, and a great community park where the movie was going to be played. For the evening, there were drummers, an astro jump, free face painting, and free candy, snacks, and glow sticks. We enjoyed the sour sticks and redvines the best!

-Trey and Justin waiting for the movie to begin. Notice the redvines, sour sticks, and glow stick in hand. Trey was in heaven!-




Derek was such a trooper. He hadn't felt good all day, and kind of took a turned for the worse during the movie. My mom almost took him home in fear of him barfing in front of everyone (which he eventually did, but NOT in front of the huge crowd) but he didn't want to leave.

It was so fun to watch one of Trey's favorite movies with our family.

On a side note, as we were driving through downtown Bend on our way home, I realized we didn't have Justin's cell phone. We searched and searched, and could think of one other place it just might be: Buried in the grass at the park. We moved our blankets and camping chairs to the back of the crowd incase Derek threw up during the movie, the phone might had fallen out of our pockets.

Justin and my Dad went back to the park, with Justin's wussy keychain flashlight in hand and searched through the grass. Sure enough, there it was, right where we had thought it might be. Our prayers were answered.
