The Drive In!

Last night I took the boys to the drive in.   I thought it would be a new and unique experience for Brooklyn.   We had Elijah for the weekend while his parents are preparing  a new home (painting and repairs)...so he was along too!

(Hubby is working out of town, so it was just me and my boys. )

It was fun and nice.  There were lots of people out there, and tents and campers?   What's up with that?   I wonder if they spent the night?   When I was a kid, we went to the drive in sometimes (we had to go 30 miles away), and would take a big old paper bag of popped popcorn. 

So, we took snacks and loaded up.  The movies showing were "Judy Moody"  and "Transformers 3".   Brooklyn was not too fond of "Judy Moody"...thought it was a "girls" movie! Ha.   Of course, he loved Transformers 3.   I didn't like it that much.

Plus, I got rather sleepy!   That's late for grammys...the second movie got over past 1 AM! 

Baby Elijah did really well, sleeping after the first half hour through both movies!

However, when the movies were over, the car didn't want to start?   That was quirky, but we did get a jump from the office and got home just fine.  (They must have this happen frequently?)   Our car is not that old, so not sure why running the radio for those two movies would run down the battery?   But, it all worked out. 



Do any of you remember these speakers (picture to the right) they USED to have at the drive-in?  You would hang them on your window inside your car!   Those were the days.  :-)


Have a good Sunday!
