Trudi and I saw the new Mr. Bean movie the other night. Pee-Wee Herman is Mr. Bean’s American cousin. Stupidly funny.

The reviewer in our newspaper said that “Pirates of the Carribbean 3″ was “yo-ho-ho and a bottle of dumb.” Very accurate. Sam was going to meet some other kids from the youth group to see it, but the whole family ended up going.

Shae is a huge fan. Unfortunately, this was a very long, very confusing mess of a movie.

But if you go – stay until the bitter end…AFTER the credits. It’s not over until it’s over.

Shae (16) leaves tomorrow with a group from the church for 8 days in El Salvador on a missions trip.
