summer kids at the SKFF2025!

 
I say that Peyton and Ivan are "summer kids", but that isn't for sure.
They are Tony and Laura's grandkids from her eldest son, Josh.
Ivan is 13, due to be 14 in October, and he's a very well-mannered kid.
His sister, Peyton, is like the twins, in that she is 11 going on 21.
She's never had a phone before and has zero phone etiquette, prompting me to take both of their phones during the movie. 
Their status is up in the air as to whether they are in town just until school starts back up in August or if they'll be returning to Missouri before that.
 
All I know for sure is they were here with me for this third film in the NCG Summer Camp SKFF2025!
"Madagascar" was our treat today and we all sat in the front row, of course!
I've been giving that tendency of mine some thought and I believe I have reasoned out why I like sitting in the front.
I thank Keith Burnett for that.
He's the one who had me sit in the front for "Star Wars", back when I was 19, and I developed a habit of doing so.
No heads in the way and no distracting phone lights, either!
(smile!)
Later, I'll be watching the advance screening of "F1 The Movie" with Carolyn.
That will be in the Big-D screening room at AMC.
She and I won't be sitting together, though.
She likes to sit halfway up in the upper center section.
There's a reason why she does that: so she can watch the reactions of the other people all around her.
She's definitely a people-watcher at the cinema.
Not me.
I want to feel like I'm part of the movie, and I can't do that if I'm distracted by the presence of others.
Different strokes for different folks!
