Movie Night
Tonight we all went to the drive-ins. It is always a step back in time when we go there. We saw a double-feature as we all sat out in our camp chairs. We saw Everyone's Hero and Monster House . Monster House was a bit scarier than I expected. Our six year-old had to be held with her face away through some of the middle part.
The weather here has turned. It only hit 90°F today and so by the time the movies began at 8pm it was beautiful out. We had the windows down as we drove home. The past several years summer has not fled in time for Fall. I hope today is only the start of wonderful weather for the next six months. Hey, I can hope.
It really made for one of the best nights this family has enjoyed together in a long time.
One note though...
If you arrive late to the movie at a drive-in? Please, oh pretty please with a cherry on top, do not drive through every row of cars as you search for the open spot in the middle of the front. Then, please, do not turn your headlights to face all the people watching the film and sit there as you figure out what you are doing. If you are late, sit in the back. Then you won't have to leave the lights on, blind the movie watchers or even worry about hitting kids as you treasure hunt for the best remaining parking spot. Thank you.

So glad you had a good time!
What is up with people who are late, anyway? They do the same thing in movie theaters, always expecting to get good seats...
We saw Monster House at the drive-in too, but I was glad we hadn't brought the kids because they would have been terrified.
When we went to the drive-in, somebody in a BIG truck parked in front of us, and then some chic crawled onto the hood with a sleeping bag and lay there. I got out of the car and said, ever so politely, "excuse me, you're totally blocking our view up there." She completely ignored me and I sat there fuming through the movie. For the second movie, we were able to find another spot when someone else left.
