Chicago Trip
Dec 31st
We left at 8:30 and hit snow in Battle Creek and considered stopping, but didn’t. We arrived in Shchaumburg and needed to unload and get reayd for bed. We slept at my cousin Dale’s place and had to set up our air mattress and we put the kids in the closet. It was a really big closet, a full size mattress fit in there and of course the kids loved it. It was only 4 hours door-to-door with 2 stops along the way.
Narnia-Christian…NOT!!!
Dec 9th
Noted columnist Cal Thomas has stated that the movie is about as Christian as Chariots of Fire. This is a good thing. This movie is a great film! My family (sans my 7 yo son) went to the advance showing and it was awesome. There was a lot of excellent scenes and Narnia looked real, to me that is. I never read the Narnia books, but have always wanted to.
The battle scenes are real and no blood is shed. You may want to prepare younger children for some of the darker scenes, but it not nightmare-ish (Lord of the Rings).
