The boys are a little obsessed with Napoleon Dynamite. I think that they have seen the movie at least 50 times, and of course had their fabulous Napoleon themed Halloween costumes from last year.
(Side note: we will never live up to those fabulous costumes the rest of our lives)
I had wanted to take the kids on a road trip to Preston, Idaho for a while but had just never gotten around to it. It's a couple hours away, just over the border and we just hadn't made it.
But, this weekend we had a family baby blessing in North Ogden, which got us just an hour away from Preston so after the blessing, we headed on up.
I had the addresses for most of the major scenes from the movie and when we pulled up to Napoleon's house, in the middle of nowhere across from a corn field, the boys were just goofy. They weren't sure what to do, but seeing the house brought big smiles to their faces.
We found Napoleon and Pedro's houses, the high school, the track and bleachers and the elementary school with the tether ball. We also drove past the DI and picked out the exact section of main street that Napoleon walked down in the brown suit.
We didn't have time to find Rex Kwan Do's dojo, or Summer and Trisha's houses, they were too far out of town. But, the places we found were pretty fun. And, it was extra nice to have our dad with us because let's face it, he doesn't get to do too many things with us these days.
