Family Christian Book Store

My family and I went to our local Family Christian Book Store last weekend, and bought a few items that we need for our Bible Study at home.
Daughter also got a new book! She picked the Bedtime Bible Stories book. The store is a decent size. Not as big as Barnes and Nobles, but it's big enough for a Christian book store.

Frozen

My family and I went to our local AMC Theater last weekend and watched the movie called Frozen. I know where kind of late. We were supposed to watch it last Christmas but we went out of town instead.
Anyhow, the movie was great! It's very entertaining and funny. The animation was extravagant and breathtaking. The characters behind the scene did a fabulous job! Hey, it's Disney after all!
Featuring the voices of Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel, "Frozen" is the coolest comedy-adventure ever to hit the big screen. When a prophecy traps a kingdom in eternal winter, Anna, a fearless optimist, teams up with extreme mountain man Kristoff and his sidekick reindeer Sven on an epic journey to find Anna's sister Elsa, the Snow Queen, and put an end to her icy spell. Encountering mystical trolls, a funny snowman named Olaf, Everest-like extremes and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction.

Dallas Pioneer Plaza Cattle Drive

If you happen to visit downtown Dallas, you should not miss the Pioneer Plaza Cattle Drive.
Pioneer Plaza honors Dallas cowboys by celebrating the trails that brought settlers to Dallas. It features native landscaping with a flowing stream and waterfall with a re-creation of a cattle drive in the form of bronze statues of longhorns being driven by three horse riding cowboys.
Each sculpture was created by Robert Summers of Glen Rose, Texas. The sculptures are believed to be the largest bronze sculptures of their type in the world.
I find it really cool and unique.

Dealey Plaza

Dealey Plaza is a Dallas city park, land donated by early Dallas philanthropist and businesswoman, Sarah Horton Cockrell, completed in 1940 as a WPA project on the west edge of downtown Dallas where three streets converge (Main Street, Elm Street, and Commerce Street) to pass under a railroad bridge known locally as the triple underpass. The plaza is named for George Bannerman Dealey (1859–1946), an early publisher of the The Dallas Morning News and civic leader, and the man who had campaigned for the area's revitalization.
I heard that some people think that these structures are dedicated to President Kennedy, but the predate was 1963. The actual Dallas monument to Kennedy, in the form of a cenotaph, is located one block away.
According to Wikipedia, The Dealey Plaza Historic District was named a National Historic Landmark in 1993 to preserve Dealey Plaza, street rights-of-way, and buildings and structures by the plaza visible from the assassination site, that have been identified as witness locations or as possible assassin locations.

Ender's Game

If you read the Ender's Game book you probably are familiar with the characters and the plot lines. The husband finished reading the book 3 months ago before the Ender's Game movie came out in theaters (November 1st).

So last October 31st, we were able to see the movie before everybody else. It's not premier.. I think it's called private viewing for special people like us...lol! Hubby's co-worker got us special tickets for the private viewing, and we paid $16.00 per ticket.
I like the characters and the story. Hey, Harrison Ford is in the movie! The husband thought he likes the book better than the movie. I can't wait to see the next Ender's Game.
Movie Info:
In the near future, a hostile alien race (called the Formics) have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young children to find the future Mazer. Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy, but strategically brilliant boy is pulled out of his school to join the elite. Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult war games, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military's next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he's trained by Mazer Rackham, himself, to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race. Based on the best-selling, award winning novel, ENDER'S GAME is an epic adventure which stars Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis, with Abigail Breslin and Harrison Ford.
