Disney Family Movie Night- UP!

Tonight's movie night was....Up!!! When we first watched this movie in the theater I was pregnant and couldn't stop crying...I really thought it should have been called down!!! Carl and Ellie's love story is just so touching to me.


For our fun night we started out by earning our own badges much like Russel earns his Wilderness Explorer badges!
Red Badge- this was an art badge they earned by coloring their own version of Carl and Ellie's home.

(Spencer asked for the yellow marker then chose the right one. We tried to trick him by giving him another color and calling it yellow, but he wasn't fooled! Super proud of him!)

Then they each displayed their homes with these balloon displays I made from colorful paper plates. 

Green badge- we talked about ways to be "green" then they all ran around making sure the lights were shut off in rooms we were not using.

Purple badge- they earned this by being helpful around the house. The girls both put their laundry away and Spencer had helped mop earlier in the day.

Blue badge- they earned this badge by playing some balloon obstacle course games which had everyone giggling!

Orange badge- this was earned for kindness shown to another member of the family. 

Sami is wearing a cute button I won from this adorable Etsy shop Parkbound. 

After the activities we watched the movie (I didn't cry this time)...

I blew up some balloons and decorated a little bit with them...

We had dinner last....on the menu:

Doug's hotdogs 

Mr. Fredricksen's fruit salad

Paradise Falls pasta salad

Russell's chocolate bars
Ellie's grape soda 

(I thought those plates looked like balloons!)

The girls have enjoyed meeting Russel and Doug in the past....

At Disney's Animal Kingdom you can become a Wilderness Explorer by completing challenges and earning badges as you work your way around the park!

At Disney's California Adventure you can also earn Wilderness Explorer badges in the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail! There are rope bridges, rock walls, and more! 

"Thanks for the adventure...now go have a new one!"
