My son, Henry the Great, turned 8 last week. To celebrate his special day, we invited his 8 best friends and their families to watch the first (and best!) Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark on our Manhattan rooftop!
We hung a white sheet on the building next to ours, borrowed a projector and set up surround sound. And in minutes, the Bodwell Theatre was open for business.
Henry set up water gun games for his friends to knock down pirate figures and WIN tickets. The kids then lined up for movie treats...tickets were redeemed for a can of Coke (Henry's fav!), candy or popcorn. Our over-caffeinated mob proceeded to run around pretending to be miniature Indiana Jones'. Chaos!
Finally, the sun set and we were all able to sit down to watch the real action. Our roof was transformed into a magical jungle complete with Harrison Ford in all his glory. Moms, Dads, grab a sheet, a picnic basket and host your own backyard movie adventure!
