Family Friday – Fun Summer So Far

We’re having a fun summer.

Becky is playing summer league field hockey, but I’m not really going to talk about how things are going until it’s over. I’ll give you an update in a couple weeks.

Billy was home for several weeks and we had the opportunity to spend time together – played a lot of board games and watched a lot of movies. As a matter of fact, my Fathers Day gifts this year reflected our family’s interest in both games and movies.

Becky gave me a great new game called Forbidden Island. We learned of the game on a recent visit to Marbles, and we both knew we would like it. It turned out to be one of our favorite games as a family. It’s a lot of fun. If you enjoy cooperative board games, you should check this one out.

Billy gave me cash to apply toward Movie Pass, which is a great service that allows me to pay a monthly fee for the privilege of seeing one movie per day ( as long as I don’t use it for the same movie more than once). It’s a great service. I’ve seen seven movies in fifteen days, so I’m enjoying it so far. Actually, I’ve seen thirteen, but seven in the theater.

Fair warning to those of you who subscribe to my movie reviews. I may kick it up a notch and review more than one a week.

If you don’t currently subscribe, you may want to. I will be reviewing more movies that are in theaters now than I used to. Tomorrow, I’ll be sharing a brief review of each of the films I’ve seen with Movie Pass so far.

AND I’m planning a brief review of the entire Fast & Furious franchise for next Saturday.

You can subscribe to my reviews separately, or if you currently subscribe to “almost everything,” you can replace that with everything. Visit this page for more information.
