On Saturday Aimee, Eva and I went to the movies with our friends Jessica and Travis to see the new Indiana Jones movie. It was Eva's first time in a movie theater! The 3 PM show was almost sold out, so we killed some time and caught the 3:40 show. Eva gets transfixed by the TV at home (a habit we'll need to break!) so I figured she'd love the big screen, and she did. It was a while before the movie started, but she watched the commercial loop before the previews, and I think she started thinking that all these people gathered around to watch the same commercials over and over again, which she soon got bored of. She fell asleep during the previews, and woke up for the last 20 minutes of the movie, which she seemed to enjoy. Best of all, almost no fussing, we didn't even need to take her out of the theater to calm her down.
Monday was Memorial Day, we went to a picnic for our friend Scott's church. Eva stared in awe at the playground as she saw all the kids running around and having fun. So even though she couldn't run around herself yet, Daddy ran around and jiggled her legs like she was running and it was great. It was also her first time on a swing, with Mommy, and her first time down a sliding board, with Daddy. Eva may be scarred for life from the sliding board, as it was plastic and gave Eva a nasty static shock through her whole body! As I got off the slide with Eva in my lap, I handed her to Aimee, and Aimee went to wipe some slobber off her face and got a big zap, which I felt through poor little Eva's legs! It took about 10 minutes to calm her down after that! But overall she had a great time at the picnic.
