The Drive In!

So what if it's raining, the drive in is fun!  

We were 5 car long in the front row.  Tarps hung from car to car.  ALL of the cousin where with us.  Joining us from MA,NH, and CO!  8 of them plus Hawk and Christopher.  AND Hawk brought 3 buddies.  

Summertime memory maker for sure!

We saw Cars2 and Green Lantern.

Christopher was great!  He timed a nap to perfection!!!!  He fell asleep on the way which enabled us to park set up and enjoy some time with the older kids. Then he woke with plenty of time to play on the rickety play group (a must at the drive in).  

The movie didn't start till after 8:30 but with a nap under his belt he was go to go. 
We even got to visit with a young school buddy of his that was parked just a few rows back.  He and "Jaz" had fun running and playing tag.

During the movie he pretty much stood on the front seat sticking his head out the passenger window the hole time.  The rainy warm weather kept fogging up the window.  But he didn't care, McQueen was on the biggest screen he'd ever seen.

The distance to home is not long - so after the movie - Sr and I divided in true parent teaming fashion.  C and I went home and Sr stayed on with the others for the second very late movie!  C was very unhappy to be leaving.

The next morning he replaced his usual morning greeting with a stern demand. 

"Mommy! I go back to movie NOW!" Spoken through gritted teeth.

Hope we get one more trip in this summer.
