Thanksgiving Break in St. Louis

Tim, Laurie, Fabio, Felipe, Natalia, Juan Pedro, Carla, and Claudia.

Wednesday morning, sunny day, Pittsburg empty. After spending the entire Tuesday night cleaning my house, Thanksgiving break in St. Louis was waiting for me. A good coffee in the car, awesome friends, and a lot of fun.

Even not finding a place to have lunch on Thursday, we enjoyed every single moment of our trip. Also, the dinner was wonderful. We went to Walmart and bought a cooked chicken, garlic bread, grapes, an apple pie.

Our Friday started in BestBuy's line. After having good food, we went to visit the Arch and shop at the mall. Hurry up. We still had time to get ready to party.

Last day was to have lunch in The Cheesecake Factory. And, while boys went to visit a beer factory, we girls stayed shopping at the mall.

It's difficult to explain in words what happened in our trip, the only thing I can say we had a lot of fun. It's awesome and, of course, we did our best.

Bedtimes Stories

Candies coming down from the sky, an unreal pet and a mix of stories taking place in different ways and ages just represent the fantastic family-comedy directed by Adam Shankman. "Bedtime Stories" involves funny moments with a good message: believe in your dreams.

Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) works in a big company hotel after his father sold their small one. He started to work so young and he also took care of his sister. When he was child, he had dreams and he could touch himself in the dreams, like a great hero. That didn’t come true. Skeeter continues to work in the big hotel fixing whatever is needed.

His sister Wendy (Courteney Cox) is divorced and her babysitter’s child Jill (Keri Russell) cannot stay with the two children, Bobbi (Laura Ann Kesling) and Patrick (Jonathan Morgan Heit) after school. Clumsy, tough, but understanding, Skeeter promises her sister would take care of children during the time that she will not be at home. And now, it starts the adventure.

Skeeter feels good creating ‘real’ stories to the kids. He imagines as if his friends and him were the mainly actors in the tales, like when he was a child. The difference is that, now, he just cannot create happy endings, because he doesn’t believe in that.

However, to satisfy children, who tell him all the time a happy end is the one which finishes well, Skeeter starts to move on the ending tales and realizes that these changes could give him a magical future.

Well produced, great actors and a lot of fantasy to children, Bedtime Stories involves fun and a hint of how to live happier. How the song that comes over and over during some scenes, don’t stop believin’ (Glee).
