The Drive-in

The last time I was at a drive-in movie was to see The Karate Kid. I'm not sure why I haven't been back. I love everything about the experience: you can bring your own snacks and drinks; you can sit in your own car or pick-up truck bed or lawn chair; you get to see 2 movies in a row; and you can talk and move around during the movie.

While I was in Utah, my mom, Allan, Stacy, Chantelle, Jeremy, Bekkie, and all of our kids went with me to the drive-in. We parked in the front row and Thor and I sat on a lawn chair in front of our truck--all my nephews and nieces laid on a mattress in the back of my pick-up. The sound came through the radio waves. We played games before the movie started while we waited for the sun to go down. And we ate more candy than I have all year!

We watched Cars 2 and The Zookeeper. Cars 2 was Thor's first movie. He stared at the screen, fascinated with the moving light. Every once in a while Thor would let out a few cackling, high-pitched laughs. I couldn't tell if he was laughing because someone else laughed or at some joke only he understood. Whatever made him do it, he was adorable!
