Jump In---Movie review

This past week we were in Gretna at our friend Madelyn's house. We rented three movies from Gretna food and video (the only store in Gretna) we got Barbie Diaries, Mr. Bean's Holiday and Jump In! We watched Jump In one morning. We head all seen it before, Thea and I had seen it when we went to Vancouver! I'd say it was just as good the second time!

Jump In is about an undefeated boxer named Izzy/Isadore who's Dad is so proud of him and wants him to be a boxer forever. But Izzy joins a double dutch team and they compete in a bunch of competitions! Izzy is played by Corbin Blue.

I really like Jump In, it's an awesome movie!

With all that said I give Jump In **** out of five stars!

Mr.Poppers Penguins---Movie review

The other day we went to cinema city and we saw the movie Mr.Poppers Penguins. It was hilarious!!! We all loved it! One of the main characters was Jim Carrey. I think he is from Canada or something!

In Mr. Poppers Penguins there were a bunch of really funny penguins; Nimrod, Bitey, Captain, Stinky, Lovey and Loudy! Nimrod always walks into things, Bitey bites people a lot, Captain was the first penguin, Stinky farts a lot, Lovey hugs people and Loudy is really loud!!! Mr. Popper lived in an apartment that does not allow pets so he had to hide the penguins.

I give Mr.Poppers Penguins ****1/2 out of five stars!

Diners Drive-Ins and Dives ---Restaurant reviews

So, on our trip we went to three different Diners Drive-Ins and Dives restaurants!

First we headed south to Duluth, Minnesota to a diner called Duluth Grill. The food at the Duluth Grill was alright I didn't much enjoy my chicken fingers but I loved the fries!

The main reason we went to the Duluth Grill was for the pies! They had lots of different pies such as blueberry, lemon, strawberry, coconut and banana cream! We ordered the banana cream and the strawberry pie! They were absolutely delicious!! We all loved the pies like crazy!!!

Here's what the banana cream pie looked like!

                                             AFTER
Looks good doesn't it! That was my choice! Mom and Dad let Thea and I choose two pies for the four of us to share! Now here's what Thea chose, the strawberry pie!


                                       BEFORE
                                           AFTER
Now, the hard part, I give Duluth Grill ***1/2 out of five stars!


For the next place, we're staying in Duluth we're just going to another part of town to visit  a breakfast place with two names, here is Chester Creek Cafe  At Sara's Table. This restaurant was awesome! Except for the fact that the night before we went on a bike thing with four seats and the restaurant benches were wooden so they really hurt my butt! Back to the breakfast, Thea and I each had a huge pancake. I could only eat 1/2 of mine but Thea was able to demolish about 3/4 of her pancake!

                                                                    Here's my pancake!

                       These are the sirups! On the left it's maple sirup and the right is beer sirup!
Alright now I give Chester Creek/At Sarah's Table ****1/2 out of  five stars!

Now to St.Paul, Minnesota for a place called The Blue Door Pub! The Blue Door Pub is a loveable dive that serves burgers with the cheese in the inside! it was pretty good all though the cheese wasn't much to my liking and it wasn't the best burger I've tasted but it was still really good! With my burger instead of getting fries I got Tater Tots! They were delicious!!!

                                                Here's a picture to prove it!

                                   Thea, like usual, had a root beer and I just had to get a picture!

So, we had a great time and Dad bought himself a T-shirt, no surprise there!!!


I give the Blue Door Pub **** out of five stars! 



                          At two out of the three diners restaurants we went to we saw this:
