Family Movie Night

Thanks to Jacob Resnel for the guest post.

You would think that summer time would be different, but for most families, the truth is just the opposite. We watch TV during all the other seasons, but I think the good shows really seem to come on in the summer. Our directv choice package provides us with all the outlets we need when it comes to finding movies and such. While we would normally watch a movie every weekend during the school year, we watch at least one a night during the summer time.

We will build a fort in the living room and have a picnic inside it while we watch a movie. Sometimes we’ll act out the movie as we watch it, each person in the family will have a specific role to play. Occasionally we’ll have a complete movie night with popcorn, nachos, soda and candy. Very rarely we will have a movie marathon night and fall asleep in our chairs or on the couches.

Family movie night is more fun during the summer because you have to come up with ways to keep it fresh and inviting so it doesn’t get old. When you have movie night every night, the clean up isn’t that fun, but paper plates and cups solve that dilemma. Movie night comes with all sorts of options and benefits; the best part is how much fun you have coming up with a movie everyone will enjoy.
