We had butterbeer tonight watching HP & Socerers Stone

[TwingleMum]

Before I get to the butterbeer I have to confess, I got Jurasic Park for movie night tonight. The boys (9,6,6) have never seen it and DH and I haven't seen it in years. I thought they should see it before We go to US so they could understand the ride. So I get snacks and we settle in We are all excited, the movie begins so far so good. They are liking the dinosauers.. argueing who is the coolest dino and then T-REX the lawyer gets eaten the kids get chased. My one twin jumps up "Mom are you crazy I'm a little kid this must be an R movie WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?? (I'm thinking you loved all the Star Wars movies, Transformers etc..) my other twinis tired and cranky so DH takes him up to bed. So I turn off Jurasic Park and think fast.
I brew my own butterbeer for my little Harry Potter fanatics. So I ask "who wants to watch Harry Potter and have a butterbeer?? They are all over it. So I get 3 large butterbeers and pop in Harry Potter and the Socerers Stone, AHHHH I don't think my Mother of the Year plaque is in the mail after tonight.

If you won't get to WWOHP anytime soon this is how I make butterbeer, I get a glass beer mug. I put like 3 tablespoons of butterscotch syrup heat it in the micro till bubbly sometimes I add a pat of butter. Mix it well. Add cream soda. YYYYUUMMM. Butterbeer.

We just got done watching Jurassic Park. My 9 year old hid his head during some of the scary parts. Especially during the kitchen scene!

Your butterbeer recipe sounds great.

I guess I was the only one who thought butterbeer had alcohol in it!

lol.

We watched MIB last night, and I have ET and The Mummy to watch during the week.

I think that watching Universal movies before going is a great idea! Besides what you mentioned, we can watch Spiderman, Shrek and Terminator. To start with at least.

That butterbeer sounds great but filling. I wish that they had a lighter beverage but maybe they'll sell bottled water?

They love MIB and Shrek. I'm not sure about the Mummy and Terminator.

I watched MiB Fri night with Nephew since we are going this week. We watched The Mummy last week. I would of liked to watch T2 but ran out of time. But those two are the two I wanted him to see since they are my favorite rides.

I hadn't heard of Butterbeer previously to coming to this site but I assumed it had alcohol also till someone mentioned it did not. I am semi excited to try it. I doubt we will get any this trip but planning for next trip I will have to get those movies and watch em back to back with some homemade butterbeer.
