Fun at the Drive In

waiting for the movie to start

Last weekend we went to the drive in theater, which we've done several times and always had fun. This visit was no exception. It was a bit chillier this time around, but it is November, after all. We've taken the CRV in the past, and it worked great for just LMS and I. Once Mr M joined us, though, things got a bit cramped :) This time we decided to take the truck, and it was much more comfortable. We laid the mattress from the trailer in the bed and borrowed the dinette cushions from the trailer for added comfort. We threw on some blankets and sleeping bags and we kept nice and warm.

remember the ultrasound pic with one eye open? we've caught him with just one eye open on several occasions since he was born. and I gotta laugh at that expression on his face too- I think he was asleep, but the eyeball makes it look like he was awake.

We have an Avalanche, which has a nifty feature where you can remove the rear glass and lay down the mid gate, extending the truck bed length. It also meant we could sit in the truck cab, mostly protected from the elements. It started to rain (it threatened to rain last time we went and did rain the time before, so we knew to plan for the possibility), but we put the truck bed cover panels back on and everything stayed dry. The only part that was open was the rear window. Nice and cozy and dry. We actually kicked some of the blankets off because we were too warm.

We all watched Free Birds, which was a bit odd, but fun. Then LMS laid down and went to sleep while Mr M and I watched the new Thor movie, which was good. TLM slept the whole time, except the very beginning, when I fed him. Another benefit of the set up we had: it was great for nursing and not feeling exposed.

Have you been to a drive in theater lately?
