Going to the Drive-In

Posted by Chris

Well, another ho-hum Monday. The weekend was a good one, however. We had a little rain when the cold front came through at the end of the week last week, so both Josiah's soccer practice on Friday & his game on Saturday were cancelled. We took it easy around the house - took in the OU vs. Texas game Saturday afternoon (Yeah DirecTV/ESPN GamePlan!). I'd say we watched it, but we really watched the first 2 1/2 quarters until ABC decided the game was too far gone & switched over to the Minnesota vs. Michigan game. Oh well - we were a little disappointed, but it's not like the game was close at that point.

Saturday night we decided to travel to a nearby Drive-In theatre. It is in a small town about 45 minutes from our house. They were having a family 'pajama party' night with a kid-friendly double-feature: "Wallace & Gromit - Curse of the Were-Rabbit" & "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory." We had so much fun! It was pretty chilly, so we packed several blankets, as well as snacks to go with the dinner we got at the theatre. We had a 'bag of burgers' - 10 small mini-cheeseburgers for $6! - as well as a philly cheesesteak. This is probably the nicest Drive-In theatre I have ever been in. Probably 3-4 years old & very affordable. We backed-in, flipped up the hatch, removed the back seats & 'camped out' in the van while we watched. Definitely one of those family memories we'll cherish for a long time!
