I mean, yeah, our kids were enjoying the American Idol microphones and iPod type toys (right until we “forgot” them at Grandma’s). And I’m sure there’s money exchanging hands somewhere that makes this seem reasonable for someone. I just think that, if we’re going to use these meals to promote movies and shows, aren’t there enough kid-focused shows to associate with the toys? Do we need these meals to promote adult-oriented entertainment? I just don’t get it.

Anyone care to enlighten me? (On this specific topic, not on stuff just in general. )

The kids and I had a great day today out at the movies—for free! Some friends and I packed our kids up and went our local Regal Cinemas for their Free Family Film Festival. Today’s showings were Madagascar and The Polar Express. We all watched Madagascar because “we like to move it, move it; we like to move it, move it!”

Selected G & PG movies start at 10AM each Tuesday and Wednesday during the festival. First-come, first-served seating is limited to theatre capacity. The Free Family Film Festival is safe, lots of fun and a great way for kids to spend a weekday morning in the summer.

Check out their site and see if there’s a theater near you. And if you plan on going with your three preschoolers, make sure you have a couple of really great friends who will cheerily help you wrangle the munchkins! (THANK YOU, my really great friends!)

By the way, have you VOTED in our poll in the right sidebar?
