well, I braved the route to the cinema today, got there with minor lane changing needed (think the kids abiding memory of mum driving will be "oops didn't want that lane...") The car park was lovely and empty for me (yay) and we were in plenty of time... result!
Toy Story 3 was excellent and I was very impressed with the 3d, also quite pleased the 3d specs sat over my own quite comfortably. We had sneaked our own sweeties in , can't afford cinema prices for kidlets sweety and drinks needs, and Maya sat still for approx three quarters of the film (better than expected). Ruthie and her friend seemed to enjoy it and Chay loved it, thank goodness as I was a bit dubious as to whether it would hold his attention for the whole time.
I thoroughly enjoyed it too by the way .
Buoyed up by successful outing I wasn't even particularly worrying about the trip home...silly me.
I have now discovered why they fit child locks! We were just exiting the road leading up to the cinema and on turning right leading up to the A27 Maya cries out "shut the door!!" What?!
I ascertained that yes her door had flown open.... bleepin' hell! Very luckily we were on the pavement side and the road was not heaving... pulled over and hazard lights on I managed to scramble out swiftly and get the door shut. Oh my lord I have a headache now! I asked the girl if she had pulled the handle and a very little and sad voice whispered yes, and then she burst into tears...don't think she'll be doing that again but I will have the child locks on at all times from now onwards!!!
Cuppatea time methinks .
Traveling with children in the car is never dull, is it? Glad nobody was injured. I've even started using the window locks any time I have any passengers under 4 feet tall in Godzilla. Frankie barely qualifies to ride with a functioning window.
