Is it July already?! I can hardly believe how fast June flew by. We had a few weeks of sleeping in, Gage actually slept past 8am a few days, and this week he’s been going to nature camp three hours a day plus a few other usual activities. They actually took an hour and a half hike yesterday! Needless to say, he’s been sleeping well 🙂 Onto the movies. I loved both new movies we saw at the theater.

We saw Spy last week: Bawdy, naughty, lots of laughs
Here are my reviews:
Spy: More spy movie, less comedy.
The Fault in Our Stars: Great love story; bring tissues.
The Vow: Amazing story, pretty good movie. (I saw this one a few years ago.)
I liked the story of The Vow too, just wasn’t sure Channing pulled it off for me 🙂
I’m breaking my blog break just for you, Stacy! LOL
Jurassic World – Loud! Fun! Chris & dinosaurs rock!
Does an ampersand count as a word? 🙂
Aw, thanks Kay! I am sooo behind that I haven’t even read about your break. This summer is kicking my butt.
It sounds like you guys are having a good summer so far. 🙂 I am glad Gage is enjoying camp. (Mouse sends her hello to Gage. She found one of the train postcards she hid from me and asked me to mail it to her “best friend Gage” so I’ll get that in the mail this week for him.
I only saw two movies this past month: Jurassic World (I agree with your review) and Jane Eyre. I was curious about Spy, so am glad for your thoughts on it.
Aw, Mouse is so sweet! He hasn’t gotten a train postcard from anyone for quite awhile so I know he’ll be excited 🙂 I’ve watched 4 Jane Eyre movies and reviewed them years ago https://stacybuckeye.wordpress.com/2009/06/27/jane-eyre-2006-movie/
It’s fun to watch them all at the same time since they all bring something different.
I’m so with you–have the biggest crush on Chris Pratt right now. LOL!
I liked Parks & Recreation, but man, he was on a whole different level in Jurassic!
TFIOS ~ cancer, courage, love, tears, tissues
The Vow ~ who doesn’t love Channing
Haven’t seen Jurassic yet. Sounds like you’ve had a good couple of weeks 🙂
Can’t complain about the summer so far!
The Fault In Our Stars: Dramatic, snot-flying, tears down face.
I’ve only seen Jurrasic World. I have The Fault In Our Stars but I’m waiting to watch it after I’ve read the book.
Spy – Melissa…a powerhouse of funny.
Jurassic World – Almost as fun as original.
Escape Plan – Actually pretty good. Old School.
