Drive-IN

We took the kids to a drive-in movie tonight.  They were so excited.  I don't think they fully understood what a drive-in entails but they were excited to eat treats and watch Cars 2.  We explained a little of what to expect.  Aidan then said, "I though drive-ins were just for romantic times."  Ummm, what show has he seen to make him think that?  True, they can be snuggley and romantic but honestly most of my memories are with my family or a large group of friends. His comment did make me laugh though. "Romantic times?" So funny.

We had to drive 40 minutes to the drive in.  It was the closest one in the area.  Why have drive-ins died?  It is one of the funnest experiences.  I went to hundreds growing up.  We would pile everyone into the van or truck, put a mattress in the bed of the truck and load up on popcorn and treats.  It was so much fun!  So many memories.

Lacey fell asleep on the way there so she was a little grumpy at first.

Look at that face!  She was lovin' it.

Everyone made it to the end of  the movie except Cassidy.  It was 11:30 by the time it ended.  Aidan was geared up to watch the second movie but I knew Ryan and I weren't not going to make it through it.  We decided to leave after the first show.  It was such a fun night!  The kids are ready to go again.
