the projector. 9-04-10

One of Shawn's favorite things has been the introduction of the projector as a way to show movies, or better yet, football games, on the garage door. Yes, the garage door. And let me tell you, it looks like the most red-neck gathering of all time, but it is pretty stinkin' cool!! The idea came from a Family Fun magazine I read where a family projected a movie on the garage door for the kids in the neighborhood and it became a monthly thing for them. I suggested we do the same thing, since YoungLife has a projector we could have access to. Well, not only would we set up the projector on Sunday for the block party/movie night, but Shawn felt it was necessary to have a "run through" on Saturday night just to make sure all worked well. But even better, on Friday night, he couldn't wait until Saturday and wanted to go ahead and figure it all out so that Saturday's showing of the football game would be just right :) Love my husband's perfectionism. So, sure enough, he had it all set up, complete with bose computer speakers. It drew quite the crowd!


And, leave it to a few men to sit around and talk about how BIG a tv screen is. It didn't take too long for them to realize that if they moved the projector back some, they could gain at least a few inches all the way around the "screen". Thomas and Shawn had to get out a tape measure just to confirm the size of the biggest screen ever....110".
