Day Fifty Two

After nearly two months in Michigan my dad came home today, to much fanfare.  Well actually no one was there when he arrived.  Meghan and I headed out early taking first a bus to downtown and then jumping on the Green Line to Oak Park.  We headed over to the Lake Theater and caught their Wednesday Morning $1 movie, which was Rio.  We enjoyed that so much that we refilled our popcorn and and stayed to watch The Smurfs.  (Not to worry we didn't sneak in, we bought tickets for the second movie.)  Being a Smurfs fan from way back, I was leary about the movie, but I have to say it was well done and I enjoyed how they integrated the little blues guys into NYC and made Gargamel human.  My mom was in the area when we got done so she gave us a lift back to her house so we could hear all about my dad's summer and have dinner with them.
