\"\"<\/a>When Reed was little, his favorite movie was \u201cWe\u2019re Back\u201d \u2013 A Dinosaur\u2019s Story.\u00a0 We watched it almost daily for a while there.\u00a0 He was enthralled with that movie although the scene when Professor Screw Eyes was taken over by the flock of ravens totally freaked him out.\u00a0\u00a0His best part was how the dinosaurs came back to life because so many children wished for that to happen. \u00a0If you remember Reed\u2019s love of dancing, then this next memory will come as no shock.<\/p>\n

Reed\u2019s favorite \u2013 I MEAN FAVORITE \u2013 part of the movie is when the dinosaurs are parading down the New York City street masquerading as one of the balloons in the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day parade.\u00a0 When the gang broke into the song \u201cRoll Back the Clock\u201d, it was all on.\u00a0 He would jump out of whatever chair he was sitting in and a rousing dance-along would occur with his Jurassic friends.\u00a0 He couldn\u2019t just dance alone.\u00a0 No, anyone within the vicinity –\u00a0family, friends, or neighbors were compelled to stop whatever they were doing and dance along.\u00a0 For me, many loads of laundry were stopped mid-process to \u201cStop \u2013 Drop-and-Boogie\u201d.\u00a0 Inevitably though,\u00a0despite interruption, all dancers went back to what they were doing with a smile on their faces.\u00a0 Sweet, sweet memories.<\/p>\n

Sweet memories were the focus of last weekend\u2019s film fest at our house.\u00a0 However watching films wasn\u2019t what occupied\u00a0my kids time a week ago.\u00a0 Actually this assembled group was in the film-making business.\u00a0 Well, short films. \u00a0Two years ago when left with some idle time, the kiddos dug out the camcorder and made some promotional videos for Reed\u2019s Run 2010.\u00a0 Think more giggles and shaky filming than professional product. They were homespun but memorable.\u00a0 Each one was sweet product of the enthusiasm that four kids put into the memory-making of the brother and honorary brother that they love and miss.<\/p>\n

So, tonight for the first viewing ever, the red carpet release of the first of 3 promotional videos for this year’s run our loveable bunch of goofballs put together.\u00a0 We don\u2019t think that you will be compelled to dance, but we do think you will enjoy Reed\u2019s second favorite past-time \u2013 laughing!<\/p>\n

Lovers of goofball videos \u2013 We\u2019re Back!<\/p>\n
