My Review
Who likes a good family/drama movie? I have to admit I usually don't bring my kids to these types of movies but this time as I watched the trailer I knew my daughter would love a good dog movie. With that said I don't think the movie was appropriate for my son. He may be more sensitive than other 6-year-olds. He was on my lap during a few season after the lightning struck and when the bear came. It did provide us the opportunity to talk after the movie. He also did sneak out with dad for a few minutes to use the bathroom.

So overall in my opinion the movie was a good tear jerker. My daughter and I both had tears during the movie. The movie had a powerful story of making sure family is a priority which makes me smile. Our kids grow up too fast and we need to be present for them! I think my daughter was surprised that this story was based on a true story. We actually wondered if the bear scene really happened. Then we were left wondering if Mitch the lead male went to the doctor. Ok, I was left wondering as I really wanted to know more about how the lightning affected him. I know writers have a time deadline on how long movies can be but I'm curious.

Yes, this movie is family friendly and God is definitely centered in their lives. (Just be aware there are a few intense moments so younger eyes and ears may not appreciate that.) I love how this movie shows prayer as a vital part of their lives.

If you are in need of a family-friendly movie night then go watch this... but don't forget the tissues!

My daughter got one of those Orbeez bead sets for Christmas.  I was so amazed at how those beads grew in the water.  It was so much fun!  :)  My daughter made her necklaces with the beads but we had a lot more m beads so we have been using them for some fun sensory play.   We put the beads in a dish and we got some glow sticks and put them in the container with the beads.  The beads looked really awesome.  :) My daughter loved it.  She played in the dark with the beads and glow sticks for a long time.  :)
