Seeing in 3D.

Today we ventured out to the IMAX movie theater for Luke's first 3D movie. The feature film of choice was about the deep sea. Turtles and sharks and squid ... oh my! We explained to Luke beforehand that we were going to a special kind of movie where you had to wear glasses. He likes wearing glasses so we figured he'd like wearing the 3D specs. We settled into our seats and put on our 3D glasses, which resembled something that Bozo the Clown might sport because these spectacles were gigantic! Luke debated back and forth whether to wear them or not. At one point when he was pro-glasses, he hopped off Scott's lap and started flapping around in the air in an attempt to catch the swimming fish who looked to be a mere two feet before us. He must have been quite intrigued ... until he experienced the downside of these magical glasses. A shark quickly swam on the screen and toward the audience. Luke jumped back in fear and ripped the glasses off his face ... gasping and his heart pounding. Of course, Scott and I were laughing it up because of his funny reaction. Soon after that, Luke tried to take Scott's glasses off. Perhaps he was worried Dad might get scared, too. Objects in the 3D glasses may appear closer than they are!
