Ice Cream and a Moo-vie

The children's department, at our church, had planned to take a trip to Chaney's Dairy Barn for their summertime smash hit activity "Ice Cream and a Moo-vie."  We had already planned to go the weekend they were showing Frozen, and that's when the church function was planned so it worked out perfectly!  The only downside was that Canaan had just broken his leg 5 days before and there was no way we could take the poor kid to a hot outdoor activity where he couldn't do anything.  So Justin's parents came to the rescue, coming to our house to watch Canaan so that we could take Hadley and have some special time with her.  It did us all some good to get out of the house, too.  We took advantage of the free hayride, getting a good breeze and nice whifs of the dairy cows.  Whew.

Chaney's has recently added a new activity to their farm, which is this jumping pillow.  This provided loads of entertainment since it's like a giant bouncy house with no walls.  I loved that they were growing mums, too.  Fall will be here before we know it and I can't wait.

We spent the biggest portion of our time, before the movie, at this spot.  Justin and I sat on a bench and watched Hadley jump her heart out.  Sometimes the bigger kids would knock her down, but she would just jump right back up.

We sat with our church friends and enjoyed ice cream before the movie started.  This was the largest crowd Chaney's had ever had for Ice Cream and a Moo-vie.  Not surprising; who doesn't love Frozen?  We were wishing we were freezing this night, by the way.



Before the movie began, we sang the National Anthem.  Hadley asked if there was going to be a ballgame.  Poor girl, she is so used to hearing the National Anthem before ballgames that when she hears that song she only associates it with a sporting event.  Bless her.

Our night was made when the super famous Frozen song, "Let It Go" came on.  Hadley, who had been laying down watching the movie, jumped to her feet and started singing and dancing to the song.  Our pastor, Brother David, got the biggest kick out of Hadley.  She always seems so reserved and timid, and to watch her really come out of her shell was just so funny!  Needless to say, we laughed but thought it was just adorable, too.  We were so glad to get to spend some one on one time with our sweet firstborn.  A night we won't forget!
