This weekend they had three movies at the drive in. Two kids movies, Up and G-force, and an adult movie last, The Proposal. I am telling you movie theatres are for adults, if you want to take your family to a movie find a drive-in. It makes for a great family night. You have to get there early enough to get a good spot, so we usually get there around 6. This last time was the best because we finally got smart about it. We emptied out the back seat and put a foam mattress and a bunch of pillows and blankets. I brought a bag of books and games for us to play before the movie. And a ball for the kids to kick around and get all their wiggles out. I WISH they had a family set up like this every weekend. By the end of the first movie the kids were pretty wiped and the second movie did them in. When it was time for the adult movie we tucked the kids in to "bed" and turned the car around. The kids slept in the back while Jason and I watched The Proposal. The only thing that bad moment we had was when Abby woke up about 5 min. before the last movie ended. She was confused because she wasn't in her bed, and completely out of sorts. She screamed furiously until we left. But all in all it was a GREAT time!! (oh yea, and Gabriel was the photographer for the first picture. )
