Well they don't do things by half around here. We are going to see the Polar Express 3D Experience tomorrow and I spent last night phoning them (automated machine - boring story) to see if we needed to book before going. It turns out that we need to be there 2 hours before to be sure of getting tickets and then 1 1/2 hours before to line up to make sure we get good seats - you know if you don't get good seats in an Imax your neck really hurts when you come out and you miss half of what's going on on screen.....
When we first arrived here we thought everything was so civilized and we never had to share a mall or bus with more than half a dozen people but now it seems to have gone mad - line ups everywhere for everything, must be the time of year. The cinema (sorry Theatre) we have chosen is about an hours ride away from us in Langley and is built like a space ship - we have promised the boys that we will take them at some point so we have to go really.....
They are really looking forward to coming home to see everyone but I wonder whether they are going to be a bit disappointed when we get back to little 'ole Sheffield. There are benefits of living in a big City I suppose.
This evening we went to Stanley Park to see the 'Bright Lights' parade - loads of little exhibits by different companies and charities with lights all over the shop and all the trees were covered in lights - it looked magical. Well I would have been impressed if I was a kid anyhow!
