Dolphin Tale - Winter- An Excellent Movie!

We won Free Tix to the Screening of Dolphin Tale. It was a great movie. We loved it, I laughed and cried so much. It's great family entertainment. It's very touching and has a lot of subtle messages about challenges, environment and family. I highly recommend it. The 3D was awesome. I didn't think I'd like the 3D but it was
REALLY INCREDIBLE! Very Cool Movie!

I have to mention one thing that really drew me in, and made me cry right from the start, the little girl is homeschooled. I just LOVED that!! There's so many great parts in this movie, but I'm not going to spoil it, you have to go see it!!  




Special Thanks to Kids Vancouver for the Free Tix.
