Angelina Jolie Takes Kids on Ice Skating Trip
Actress and U.N. Ambassador Angelina Jolie took her kids on an ice skating trip. Normal enough except most moms don't trek all the way to Budapest, Hungary for a family affair.
But then again, when you're a half of a Hollywood power couple, who's to say that you can't? The mother of 6 was spotted spending a bit of quality skating time with Zahara and Maddox while Shiloh and Pax seemed the most excited to hit the ice.
No doubt the tough movie star is raising her kids to be active and strong in order to keep up with the whole family's jet setting lifestyle. The Jolie-Pitts' are famous for being seen half a continent away from where they live, after all.
Although one can also ask if this particular family outing is the result of Jolie's partner, Brad Pitt, and his agenda to teach their kids about playing and doing activities that do not include a computer screen. Pitt has been currently reported as saying that he was tired of his 6 kids' fixation on video games and the like.
"The kids have five laptop computers that they share. Brad took them and hid them in storage. He wants them playing in the dirt, reading books and interacting with each other," the magazine, the National Enquirer reports. Brad believes their minds are turning to mush from staring at the screens all day," the publication adds.
But kids will be kids, offspring of movie stars or not. Maddox and Shiloh supposedly threw the worst tantrums at having their electronic toys taken away from them. Perhaps this skating trip was Jolie's way of showing them that there is fun to be had in a world away from video games. Although one could as easily argue that no 6 or 7 or even 8 year old has any business owning a laptop.
