How to Train Your Dragon...

We went to see the new DreamWorks movie, How to Train Your Dragon, on Saturday. I first heard about this movie while channel surfing one morning. I happened to watch a few minutes of Regis & Kelly. Kelly Ripa was talking about what a great movie it was and recommended it. The boys became aware of it after watching the preview over & over again one day in Wal-Mart while waiting for me to take Genevieve to the bathroom. They were very excited and so I thought it would be a fun Spring Break activity.

I was completely surprised by how great the movie was! It tells the story of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn't exactly fit in with his tribe's longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers. Hiccup's world is turned upside down when he encounters a dragon that challenges him and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view.

This movie touches the adventure seeking, dragon taming part of every little boy and every man who is still a "boy at heart." It is a captivating story and I highly recommend it for anyone 6 years or older. It still has us talking and has made it to our "must own" list.
