Hunger Games

Our March date was originally going to be a road trip to Iowa to watch the Big 10 Gymnastics Championship. After going over the budget and trying to decide to either get a babysitter until 2 a.m. or take the kids with us, we decided to come up with another date idea. We knew the Hunger Games was coming out on the 23rd and figured that would be a perfect replacement. Jessie Meyer recommended the book to us when it first came out about 4 years ago. We really enjoyed reading it together and waited on pins and needles for the second and third books (in the series) to come out. We knew the movie would not be as good as the books but were excited to see how they portrayed it. The cast didn't really fit our image of what we thought the characters looked like but our disappointment was swept up in how well, overall they did with the movie. It has been over 1 1/2 years (I think) since we've gone to the theater together so it was a lot of fun and we got to enjoy it with our friends the Rowleys.
