So much for planning

We drove up to Remi's house today to spend the weekend with her. Before we left I had scoped out movie times for Green Hornet at the theater near her house, made plans for Levi to babysit, and set the plans in motion before we got to her house. Things were going well until we got there. As we were getting off the freeway we noticed a huge nasty accident on the freeway's NB side and even cringed at the bodies being loaded on stretchers. The theater backs the freeway so as soon as we got off we were there. It was really weird because there were so many people out front but hardly any cars, and there were 3 fire trucks and the same number of ambulances in the parking lot. At first we didn't realize that the two were related, and wondered if someone was injured in the theater. But when we went up to buy tickets we were told the theater had to close down for the rest of the night because of the accident on the freeway! I still don't understand why closing the theater would help, but it doesn't matter since it wouldn't have made a difference to our plans. But it was still a first! Here we are in the theater trying to figure out what to next:

And, if you are wondering, our substitute activity was ice cream at McDonalds. Where I found something very large and nasty in my food. Let's just say that It Cured me from any further cravings of McD's food for a long while yet!
