S'mores, Movies, Candy and Sugar Overload

Normally every year we go to a Brewers game to honor Granna Purvis.  This year it was decided to have a family get together instead.  We went to Aunt J and Uncle H house and listened to the Brewers on the radio.  This would be exactly as Granna Purvis would have wanted it. 

After it got dark it was time for S'Mores.  They were a big hit!

After the s'mores it was time for a Movie.  A big screen was set up on the front lawn and the kids laid out blankets.  While it was getting set up, a few of the kids were having fun watching their shadows in the screen.

The kids were anxious for the movie to get started.

What's a movie without candy?

After the sugar hit, it was topped off with popcorn from a movie theater popcorn machine.

At the end of the first movie, A came up to me and asked to go home.  It was already 10:30 and way past their bedtime.  She actually started crying because she really wanted to home.  We had a hard time trying to round up J because another movie was being set up.  J didn't want to go home.  Then J was told she could spend the night.  She was given the chance to spend the night too.  A started crying really hard.  I could tell that she was very torn.  She really wanted to go home but she didn't want to leave without J.
