Toy Story 3 Review

We took some of the savings today and went to see Toy Story 3 (and to get out of the heat). It is a great movie! We all loved it. We saw the regular version, not the 3D one. The kids absolutely loved it. They have been talking about it all afternoon.

A quick review: Andy is going off to college and so he has to make the decision of what toys to place into the attic, or take with him to college, or to throw away. I won't give all of the details away, but the toys go on a wild adventure from SunnySide Daycare Center to the landfill and then to home. It will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what is about to happen next. You will catch yourself laughing out loud and embarrassing your children ** guilty here, :D **

But if you get the chance to watch, the kids and adults will love it!
