We found out one Saturday that there was a sing-along showing of The Little Mermaid at our local independent cinema, The Picture House. Turns out, the Saturday morning film is a regular thing and they often have sing-along versions for the kids (and grown ups) to join in. Nik's Mum and I took the twins along as we thought they'd love it and I do love The Little Mermaid, such a classic.
It started off really well, the kids were delighted with their own popcorn and loved sitting in the big seats. When the film started they were initially mesmerised and Kalyan was dancing in the aisles! Unfortunately it turned out they were still a little bit young for the cinema as it was quite loud in parts and K was very upset, covering his ears and asking to leave. Once the popcorn was gone too, they became much more restless but we did make it until the end. Kalyan has asked never to go back to the loud place though which is a shame, maybe next year when they're almost 5.
We also tried to go for lunch in the Picture House Restuarant after but their behaviour got worse and became uncontrollable so I had to take them home just as the food arrived! Gutted. Luckily Ma and Dadaji brought it home for us to eat when they were finished. I didn't see the point in us all having to leave although it did leave my friend, who met us there, having lunch with my in-laws!
The next day was more successful as we went to our favourite place - Wilderness Wood. Always a hit and this time we managed a nice walk around the woods too and not just in the play areas. And lunch of course with some cake after our walk and more cookies as big as the kids' heads!

It's on at 10:30am every Saturday, the following week was Moana sing-a-long although they're not always sing-a-long versions. This weekend it's Incredibles 2.
