For Rachel's birthday last month, one of her friends told her she would be getting her birthday present a little late. She wanted to take her to High School Musical 3. Since both girls love the franchise, I thought it sounded like a great idea. What I didn't find out until recently was that I was the lucky mom who got to take them. They've actually been talking about this for months, long before Rachel's actual birthday. Well the day finally arrived. High School Musical 3 is officially in the theaters.
So Friday afternoon we braved a theater of hyper, overexcited tween girls and what looked to be a bevy of exhausted parents. I will admit to being one of the apparently many adults who actually like this particular Disney juggernaut, but even I didn't actually want to be there. Lines were long, theaters full, and kids impatient. Fortunately we all ended up having a pretty good time. The movie was predictable and cheesy, as expected, but it was also well made and fun. The songs were catchy, the dances fun, and my 9 year old was on the edge of her seat laughing and cheering. Turns out it was worth the headache the outing caused to see Rachel and her friend so happy.

If you say so..
I watched the first one, and have yet to brave the second. I've tried playing the HSM game with Jenn's kids, but they rock me. I am at n extreme disadvantage, so I try not to take it too hard.
We'll end up there I'm sure.
