Our family trip to the drive in was fun. We had a great time and the weather was fine. It didn't rain but it was pretty much an overcast afternoon. It wasn't hot and there was a slight breeze. We ended up getting there at 5:45, and hour before the gates open and we were the 4th car in line. I now have a preference for going to the drive in, go on Sunday nights in the spring and fall/winter seasons, because that's when school is in. I don't know about the summer, I think probably on Saturday nights because people go to church on Sundays and might not want to be out late the night before.
Cayce and I packed a big bag of food including hotdogs, and popcorn. We bought candy and water at the store. When the gates opened up, we were on the main field and the girls were looking around. The first thing we did was take the girls to the little playground in front of the screen and let them run some energy off. Addy started throwing dirt everywhere and by the time we got back to the car, Cayce was the only one who didn't join the dirt in the mouth club..lol.
The first movie was Captain America and it started at 8:05. I wasn't into it that much and kept squirming around. I kept shoving food in the kids mouths to keep them quiet and happy. When Need for Speed came on, I was excited. I had been waiting to see it since last year when I saw the teaser trailer on the game's Facebook page. Ariana fell asleep and Addy was getting agitated and tired. Cayce wanted to leave and I kept telling him no. It baffled me that he wanted to leave during a movie that he has been wanting to see just as badly as I did. It became apparent to me that he didn't want to be there at all and certainly didn't want the kids to be there either. I told him the next time we go, it will just be him and I and it will be in November or I will be the only one coming.
I just didn't like his attitude at all that night, but it didn't stop me or the girls from having a good time. I think the next time we go to a movie theatre, it will be in the summer when the 1 dollar movies come out for kids. But that won't be for a drive in, it will be a walk in and I'm anxious to see how the girls do in a walk in theatre.
