Madagascar Viewing Party with Claritin:

Tweet

 
Even though it's allergy season, we don't let that keep us from enjoying the outdoors. However, it's always fun to stay indoors for a movie party. To celebrate the upcoming release of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted. My youngest son absolutely loves the first two Madagascar movies. He laughed so hard in the movie theater when we took him to see the first that I thought it was funny just listening to him.






Ironically, my youngest is also the one who suffers severe allergies and is currently receiving immunotherapy. He takes Claritin® every morning this time of year. I can't think of a better team than one of his favorite animated movies and his favorite allergy relief product. He was the one most excited to host our Madagascar Movie Party. In fact, he made sure he invited our neighbor who, like him, also endures monthly allergy shots.

My neighbor is also my coworker and teamed up for an after work party. 

 Our young party guests received glow sticks and were sent to the "zoo". They had to escape from the dark room with the help of their glow sticks and their friends and siblings. A few of our young guests were having so much fun, they didn't make it for our photo.

While our children played and watched the movie, we had lunch and learned about what Claritin® can do for ourselves and our children with allergies. I have to admit, the real hit of the party for the grown ups was the homemade Zebra Popcorn (sticky caramel popcorn with double chocolate) in honor of Marty the Zebra. I may have to release my secret recipe right here on my blog.

But the real excitement came from the announcement of the Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted release in theaters on June 8, 2012. Our camera shy little 4 year-old couldn't stop singing, "Move it, Move it," and clapped her hands when her mom told her she would take her to see the next movie.
