FUN STUFF
Well this might not be so fun, but if you have kiddies in diapers this might be a great deal for you Pampers & a gift card http://www.wagjag.com/
Earlier this month we attended the BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in 3D with the winners from our contest
I had only saw it on VCR before that, so seeing it on the Big Screen in 3D was amazing! The opening sequence where the story is told of how the Prince came to be the Beast was done so beautifully you felt like you were in a story book. If you're able to see it in the theatre you get an exta treat from Disney Pixar. Tangled Ever After is a new Disney Short film, also show in 3D and the effects are amazing! Here's a sneak peak
So go grap those Food Bank Donations & look forward to seeing you!
