Friday Movie Night in Los Altos (2011)

The Kid: “I gave you two presents, a fart and a fart!”
Daddy: “Oh, a double-double.”
The Kid: “Protein-Style!”
— The kid makes a joke (plays better if you’re familiar with the menu at In-N-Out)

One thing about maintaining a blog: it really makes you aware how fast a year can go by! I made a post about our visit to Friday Movie Night in Los Altos last year around this time. You can view the post here. Honestly, I feel like I wrote that post a few months ago. Just to make sure, I checked out last year’s video. Yep, the kid is noticeably younger and shorter. I guess it has been a year!

Anyway, we went again earlier tonight. The kid had lots of fun sliding and jumping around, running back and forth between the slide and bouncy houses.

After getting her fill of jumping around like a lunatic, she ordered up a nice pink octopus balloon animal…

Yep, this kid knows how to start off the weekend!

Los Altos Spooktacular

“Daddy, I like jewelery. It’s very sparkly!”
— Lucy at the store

Yesterday, Lucy went trick-or-treating at the Los Altos “Spooktacular” with her mommy and Auntie Laura. Many of the downtown shops participated, dispensing assorted sugary treats to any trick-or-treater that darkened their door.

In addition to the tooth decay-fest, the Spooktacular also featured a parade. The above video shows it off a bit of it. Lucy’s wearing a Minnie Mouse outfit she made with help from her mom.

Friday Movie Night in Los Altos

Lucy: (yelling) “Aaaaaaaah, YOGURT!”
Mom: “You’re screaming at your yogurt cup?”
Lucy: (calmly) “Yes, it won’t open.”
— another conversation overheard at the dinner table

2010.08 Friday Night Movies from Mike C on Vimeo.

Last night we went to Los Altos for a movie night. It was pretty neat. The city shut down a section of Main Street, set up a screen, and propped up a movie projector. In addition to this, they also brought in a jumpy house, a couple of slides, balloons, etc.. Needless to say, Lucy gave all of this a very hearty approval.

The kid had a blast, running from slide to jumpy house to slide again. She also got a balloon (in the shape of a pink bunny of course) and some body art. I managed to shoot some video. Hopefully,  Jill will be posting some pics too.
