My first Drive-In Movie

I have thinking we would go to Eden to the Drive-in for the past couple of years. They actually get new released movies. They always show double features as well. Two movies for the price of one- how can you beat that? This past weekend they were showing "Wall-e" and "Get Smart." Nola had mentioned she wanted to take us to see Wall-e on the fourth. But when I saw it playing at the drive-in, I thought this would be much more fun. It was still one of the cool July days and turned out being a bit chilly. We actually wore jackets and blankets! Crazy- huh! It was a perfect night to go. We all went to the movie for the same cost as taking 2 adults at the movie theater. You can't beat that! They had a fun playground for the kids play on while we waited for it to get dark. That definitely made the wait faster! Analise was so scared of the ramp to get in the boat. Cade helped her up and down for the first few times but she soon got comfortable enough to crawl up it. Funny lil' girl! When the movie started we laid down the back seats of the van, got out the soccer chairs, bean bags, popcorn, and treats from the dollar store. Analise was back and forth from G'ma's lap and Mommy's but it was much easier than containing her at a movie theater. It was a pretty cheap movie night. I had liked to stay for Get Smart but Cheeto couldn't sleep the night before and was exhausted. We needed to get him home to survive the next work day. Kelson was so tired on the way home that he was whining about everything he thought about. It was pretty funny! They were all out cold before we made the 30 minute drive home.
