Movie under the stars

Okay remember the times when you would get into the car with blankets and pillows and candy and head to the drive in? I loved going as a kid and on post here they started a new tradition of having a huge screen set up in a field and serving free popcorn and letting us sit on the grass. Well they were playing Night at the Museum 2 which I hadn't seen yet so I was thinking its free and the kids would love it. So we loaded them up and drove out to the field, and I say we because my husband actually made it this time too. The movie was great, but I should have brought bug spray lol. The middle child was enjoying it, watched the whole show. The oldest was complaining that he wanted to go back to the car and sleep since he takes his medicine at 630pm and it was already 9pm I don't know how he stayed awake to be honest. And Wyatt my baby, was just bored.... go figure... I take him to a field where he could run around and go nuts and hes bored.... lol All in all I enjoyed the show and I think we will have another attempt at it on the 9th of October. It brings back memories watching a huge screen in the middle of nowhere .... I guess my kids are definitely from the technology generation cause they were like completely bored with the idea of it and kept saying we could have gone to the theatre for a movie lol.

  1. Yeah, but a movie theatre wouldn't be serving free popcorn!

    We try hard to make our boys appreciate the simple things, but it's hard with all the distractions of not-so-simple things around!

    I'm glad you got to go as a family, that's cool :)

  2. That sounds like fun to me! We recently went to see Shrek on the field at the Dayton Dragons' stadium. The girls liked it but it took some getting used to.

    I hope the next one is just as much fun!
