Camp Rock Party :: A Night Of Fun For The Kids

Later tonight my house will be transformed from a quiet, relaxing place to one where you will need earplugs to make it through the night without your ears bleeding.

No, we aren’t hosting a birthday party for teething toddlers - although that might be a safer choice.

So what will be the cause of all the commotion?

Camp Rock!

For those that don’t know (which I didn’t until I received the dumb-founded stares and subsequent lecture from my wife), Camp Rock is a new Disney movie that is premiering tonight.

Mitchie Torres, played by Demi Lovato, has a once-in-a-lifetime chance to attend the prestigious musical camp known as Camp Rock. Little does Mitchie know but the camp is loaded with super competitive campers all working to perfect their musical talents. With the help of instructors such as Shane Gray, played by Joe Jonas from The Jonas Brothers, she will learn to face her fears of being in the spotlight.

Our youngest son is a music and hip-hop fanatic and a movie like this is right up his alley. He’ll likely be dancing along with the movie and loving every minute of it.

But it isn’t just my son that will be dancing around and being crazy.

We are hosting a Camp Rock party at our house tonight.

All of the kids from our block are coming over - about 10 to 15 kids total - to have dinner, watch the movie, and get a little crazy.

My wife gets into this stuff more just as much as the kids, as she has made Camp Rock t-shirts and has put together a bag of goodies for all of the kids. The house has an assortment of Camp Rock decorations and if I didn’t know better, I would think our house was part of the movie set.

What about me?

As much as I enjoy the excitement that the kids (and my wife) have for the debut of this movie, I’ll be sitting out on the deck with the other dads having a few cold drinks and some good conversation. Sounds like a win-win situation to me!

Are your kids going to be glued to Camp Rock tonight?
