My Boys First Drive-In Movie: Toy Story 3

There is something magical about a Drive-In Movie. The smell of exhaust, treats from a cooler and turning the back end of the family truck into our own personal 'living room' away from home.

I have fond memories of seeing movies in the "outdoor theater", as a kid.....with my own mom and dad. I look forward to making those same memories with my boys. So much so...we are headed to do it again. Tonight's feature? Despicable Me.

Jules AF , 10 July, 2010 16:42: Here in Sacramento, there's a drive in theater you drive by on the freeway. I aaalwaays almost get into an accident because I'm trying to watch.
Kristina P. , 10 July, 2010 17:06: I love the drive in.
Sweet Tea , 10 July, 2010 18:16: No drive-in's here, but I have great memories of days gone past. We were talking about Drive-In movies the other day and our 15 yr old dd thought they sounded "boring". She just doesn't know, does she?!!
Great photo of your boys.
Have fun!
Liz Mays , 11 July, 2010 09:11: I wish I felt the same way, but I thought they were absolute misery!
Erin , 11 July, 2010 20:28: Do you have a drive-in close to you? How fun! My kids have never been to one.
Loralee and the gang... , 11 July, 2010 20:58: I remember those days. Date night w/hubby because the kiddos would always fall asleep before the movie started... No sitter necessary! But I rarely see a drive-in around anymore. You are lucky to have one still in your town!
Randi Troxell , 12 July, 2010 08:31: i still looooove the drive in.. think i always will.. funny though, your boys look like they are about ready for bed.. lol
Donna , 12 July, 2010 22:28: I'd love to take John to the drive-in! How fun! We don't have any near us here in Connecticut.
P.S. I'm very happy to see a Red Sox icon on that awesome baseball quilt/blanket!
Debbie , 16 July, 2010 20:59: We went and saw the same movie last Saturday at the drive-in. Our kids thought it was the greatest thing ever. Dispicable Me is on our list next too!
Cassie , 19 July, 2010 03:30: What a treat for the boys(& you)!! I have fond memories from childhood of the drive-in too. Oh and a not so good one---my first Frenchkiss---boy did that disgust me!!

What I'm Doing Here...

I blog for so many reasons. This started as your typical 'Mommy Blog' but quickly evolved into so much more. I blog to stay sane, document our days and to express myself.

I like to claim this as my little corner of the blogosphere. A safe place for me to share my story, my boys and their crazy antics, our adventures as a family and the odd occurrences of our household.

I'm grateful for all of you that support my ramblings -on a daily basis- and welcome those of you visiting for the first time. Its my hope that you come and sit a while; that we may have a chance to get to know each other.
