On the weekend I went to my grandpa and stayed till Sunday are uncle was dropping us off at our house. All of a sudden we were going to the movies but before that we went to go pick up his daughter so it took him about a hour to go to the movies. We went there and then we were early to the iMovies so we went to eat after we stayed in the car and we went inside. When we said the movie our uncle forgot his wallet so we waited. We went inside ordered and went to watch the movie.
