As we speak, my children are snuggled up on sprawled all over the couch watching Toy Story 2 ... again. I'm sure it's just a phase. I remember a couple of summers ago when I'm pretty sure Ethan watched Cars once a day for 37 days in a row.
So, to feed the Toy Story obsession, we took the kids to see TS3 again, but this time at the drive-in on the 4th of July. We left evening church and drove about 45 minutes to the Galaxy Drive-In and had one of our best family nights ever. My aunt, uncle and cousin happened to be in town that day so they got to go with us, too.
The movie started around 9:00, so we played putt-putt until showtime.
When the sun went down we got cozy in the car, put the big red speakers in the windows, enjoyed the summer breeze, and just relaxed. Well, the kids and I practiced our scared faces first.
Rachel and I went for a snack run to the concession stand (I think the large drink was $1.50 - I love this place!), and then we settled in. Definitely a night we'll never forget (probably doesn't hurt that the kids ask me at least 6 times a day when we're going back).
We can't wait to try it out with you guys next time! I'm still trying to get over the $1.50 large drink. I can't even comprehend that after buying my $5 Sprite at the dollar movie a few weeks ago!
ReplyDeletehow fun is that!!! great idea:) now if i could only talk marc into going. he doesn't remember ever going to a drive-in as a kid. he totally missed out on wearing jammies to the movies, laying in the car, falling asleep:) those were the days!
