\"secret<\/a><\/p>\n

Our family LOVES the Night at the Museum movie series. \u00a0When the latest movie, Night at the Museum – Secret of the Tomb<\/a> came out, we were all over it. \u00a0To make the night extra special, we decided to take our kids to the drive-in to see it. \u00a0It was a bit squishy in the back of our Ford Explorer, but we adjusted. \u00a0We loved every bit of the movie\u00a0until our car battery died and with it, so did the ability to hear the sound.<\/p>\n

You see, when you have the hatchback open on our car, the interior lights will not go off. \u00a0We’ve tried EVERYTHING. \u00a0Now here we were on a Sunday night at nearly 10:45pm, stranded. \u00a0We called for a tow truck, but found out there was no one at the main gate to let them in at that time at night! \u00a0Fortunately my husband was able to knock on the window of a fellow movie-goer and ask for his assistance.<\/p>\n

Our surprise night out for the kids ended up in a surprise standing for us! \u00a0Fortunately, by 11:40pm, we were on our way home. \u00a0Unfortunately, we missed the sound of half the movie!<\/p>\n

So when VocalPoint sent us a note stating that we had been chosen to give a Family Night of Night at the Museum – Secret of the Tomb (rated PG for mild action, some rude humor and brief language) to announce the availability of the movie on DVD, we were excited!<\/p>\n

Our Night At the Museum Family Night<\/span><\/h2>\n

To kick off the activities, VocalPoint sent us this box of goodies….<\/p>\n

\"Night
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition, they made available on their website, a Night at the Museum activities webpage<\/a> with downloadable templates. \u00a0Kids can make their own Flat Dexter…similar to Flat Stanley, so he can pose with them in different places for some great family fun.<\/p>\n

\"Night\"Secret<\/a><\/p>\n

You can also make color cut-outs of different pieces of costumes from various characters in the movie. \u00a0We found that by placing cardboard on the back of our sword made it a lot more fun to play with.<\/p>\n

Now, onto movie night! \u00a0Watching movies together is one of our favorite pastimes as a family. \u00a0We try to watch at least one together every weekend. \u00a0We much prefer watching movies in the comfort of our home rather than going out to the movies.<\/p>\n

\"Night<\/a><\/p>\n

After popping a packet of the popcorn VocalPoint provided, we were ready to watch our movie! \u00a0We couldn’t wait to watch the whole movie with sound! \u00a0Nestled\u00a0in our blankets, we began the show.<\/p>\n

\"Night<\/a><\/p>\n

Night at the Museum – Secret of the Tomb shows\u00a0the famous New York Museum of Natural History \u00a0where it’s noticed\u00a0that the Tablet of Ahkmenrah, which makes the exhibits come alive at night, is tarnishing. \u00a0As it tarnishes, the exhibit characters are beginning to turn back to wax, where they once were fully flesh.<\/p>\n

Larry Daley, the famous night guard takes charge and arranges to have his fellow exhibit partners join him to a trip to the London Museum to meet with the Pharaoh there to help them unlock the Tablet’s secrets and preserve it.<\/p>\n

\"Night<\/p>\n

In the process the exhibits at the London Museum come alive, causing havoc and uncertainty for preserving the tablet in time before the magic ends. \u00a0Night at the Museum – Secret of the Tomb is well-written, humorous, and comes with some unexpected scenes of history that are sure to delight your whole family.<\/p>\n

For a third movie in the series, we had low expectations, but were pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n
