Indiana Jones Look-a-like

Some good friends of mine and Jared's named James and Emily, always win stuff on the radio. This past week they won tickets to see the new Indiana Jones movie. It was a family 4 pack but their kids are little like ours so instead of taking them, they invited us instead. When they won tickets to the last Harry Potter movie, tons of people dressed up and won prizes for it, so...we decided to dress up for this one. I then set out to find the perfect outfit for us. Jared already had the hat so it was just a matter of finding a khaki colored shirt and making it look all sweaty. I used canola oil for that and just scrubbed it into his shirt. I found the strappy satchel thing at DI. I also told him he had to not shave for a couple of days so that he would have the scruffy look. As you can see, the outfit turned out pretty good. He is so cute!
I tried to find a grey shirt and grey pant oufit, like the girl in this movie but without the short black hair wig, it just didn't look right. I tried but it didn't work out as I had hoped. So...I tried dressing like the girl from the Last Crusade, but obviously don't have blonde hair anymore so there wasn't much resemblense. However, our friends dressed like Indiana Jones' Dad and Marion. They looked good!





Emily won The Temple of Doom movie while we were there and Jared was called up to the front of the theater to show off his outfit. I am proud to say that even though my outfit didn't turn out, he sure did get a lot of attention from the other movie goers. Hey, we also got free plastic toy snakes and licorice "whip" (not a rope, but a whip). We had a lot of fun.

COOL! Good job, guys!

The movie was great- I really, really liked it. {I did an entire post on Indiana Jones 4 on my blog!}

The Science Camp looks like so much fun! Glad you got to go this time, Courtney.

I've been to Jackson Hole before when I went White Water rafting. That was awesome!

The sweat stain MAKES the outfit!

that is so great, and sounds like so much fun! I love dressing up for movies, but I also love it when I go and see people dressed up for it! You all look so good!
