On Monday Night
On Monday night I took the kids to see the Smurf movie.
The movie, in my humble opinion, was just okay. The kids liked it - which is what matters most when you venture out on a Monday night to see a kids movie.
My favorite part was the photobooth.
The only thing I didn't like is that all the options including graphics - I'd be much happier with the plan old white border without any text or other images.
Come to find out this photobooth also does videos. There's no sound to this video but I really kinda love it.
This was my first experience with a video photobooth. Talk about modern technology. You get a great little photo strip but then you can go home, log onto your computer and see a video of your photobooth session and be able to upload your strip to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc. You can also upload individual images which I thought was cool.
How cute the video is and the pictures. I have to say this world has come a loooong way in technology. The kids did great and look so cute. I'm not sure yet about the Smurf movie too, told the kids maybe to wait for the video instead.
I saw two new cool things for kids this past weekend also. One was at Old Navy where we barely shop at but did this weekend. They have a projector floor game for kids to play on. The projector sits on the floor and lights up different games on the floor and the kids use their feet to play basketball, hockey, skipping stones, jellybean match, puzzle pieces to put together and more. I loved playing on it and got the name from a clerk to see about ordering it. This is a great way to keep the kids happy while you shop.
The other cool thing was at the mall and it's a booth you get into and blows air at 185mph and feels like a hurricane. The kids we saw in it loved it and their hair was blowing every where and they were laughing and cold at the same time.
So fun to have these ideas for the kids. Have a great day.

Love the pictures! Love the video!
I haven't seen these photo booths nowadays around here. I remember when being a teenager that we frequently visited the booths and tried to squeeze in as many friends as possible.
Love the way Anna holds on to Simons chin :-)
I'll definitely be looking out for a photobooth in shopping malls. I would love to have such a picture taken together with the children.

I loved seeing the kids' reactions and interactions with each other. So naturally affectionate!

I'm with you, Ali. I don't like that our photo booth at the movie theater has graphics on every choice either.
Love the way Anna puts her hand on Simon's chin....sweetest thing ever! And when she's trying to kiss him and he turns her face around to the camera...so cute!

I love this too Ali! Love how Anna tries to kiss Simon and he gently and kindly tries to move her face back to the screen. TFS! Hope we get a photobooth at our local theatre like that one! :) Have a great Wed.

Ali- I love how Anna has her hand on Simon's chin. I also love how she tries to kiss him and he tries to redirect her back to the screen and keeps his hand on her face in case she tries to move again. The photos and the video are priceless.

I love that picture!!! Beautiful family! And I hadn't seen the video part yet either! Have you seen PocketBooth for your phone - mine's on the android system, but I'm sure there's something similar on iphone too. My kids LOVE it! and you can upload/email the photo strip too.

It was really fun to see the video - Simon's excitement when what appears to be when he first noticed the screen, you explaining the process, Anna's hand on Simon's cheek... I really like the combinations of photo and video.

Adorable! I love the way Anna is holding Simon's chin. And in the other picture, I love how Simon is holding Anna's chin. So cute :) I also took my kids to see The Surf's movie and feel the same. But I did love how they paid homage to the original artist. I'm hoping to run into this type of photo booth myself :)
