Kids had fun at Shallowford Square last Friday evening as they participated in town-sponsored games before watching Kung Fu Panda, the opener for the season’s first Starlight Movie Night.

After a brief spring break, I’m back now with more Lewisville photos! And first up, are scenes from the Starlight Movie Night Kick-Off.

Kids’ Activities

Last Friday evening, the Town of Lewisville kicked off its first Starlight Movie Night of the season in Shallowford Square with the movie, Kung Fu Panda. New this year were games and prizes for children, facilitated by the town staff, as well as random drawings for assorted prizes.

From my perspective, I had fun trying to capture the energy and playfulness of the children. Some of them participated in the games, while others played in the playground area. Their ages ranged from around two years old to perhaps early teens. Whatever their age or their activity, they sure did put their heart into it. What a fun group of kids!

Plus, I did notice that one particular group of young ladies always seemed to find the camera! Thankfully, they had real personality and some great smiles. (I think you’ll know who they are when you review the gallery photos!)

Music and Movie

Following the games, Chrissie Hall and Michael Hoch treated the audience to some pleasant duets, with Michael also performing on guitar. A number of the kids let loose with, might I say, some rather unique dance moves!

Unfortunately, the threat of rain caused some families and couples to leave not long after the movie had begun. I decided to depart then, too, especially since photo opportunities were pretty much over by that time.
