#8 – Host A Movie Marathon
It was a long but great weekend. Saturday night was a great luau dinner to appreciate all of you volunteers who do so much around Revolution. If you weren’t able to make it or just want to see some fun photos from the night, just go ahead and check out David’s blog. He posted a great recap of the night. Then we had a great time of worship on Sunday morning and then it was off to fulfill another one of our 10 activities for the summer(as noted in previous post)!
Last night we joined some friends for a movie marathon. We did lots of laughing! We started with Napoleon Dynamite which Rachel and I had never seen. It seems like everyone we talk to either loves it or hates it. We loved it. It helps to watch with friends when you’re already in a goofy mood. Then came Rat Race, which the Platts had never seen. I still die laughing at that movie after 
numerous viewings! And finally, afraid that 2 movies might not really qualify as a marathon (although special features do add quite a bit of time to movie viewing!), we finished out the night with A Series of Unfortunate Events. Rachel has read through book 10 and had been wanting to see that one for a while. It was actually much better than I expected, but not at the top of my list. It was pretty nice to have a day where we could kick back like that and relax.
So that puts 2 down and 8 more to go for us. I’m not sure we’ll really be able to finish this quest, but it will be fun to give it a shot!
