We went to see UP! this weekend at the Northfield Drive-In. As we were packing up the car with chairs and sleeping bags to go the the movie, it started to rain. We almost bailed on going. Quickly, we checked the weather channel and the local forecast predicted heavy rain. Lily started to sob. She and Georgia had been looking forward to going to the drive-in with their friends for weeks. So, we went in the rain and had a good time.
There were severe thunderstorms predicted at one time during the movie, but we got away with showers and lightening and thunder in the distance. Lily stayed up and saw the whole thing eating twizzlers, popcorn and lemonade in the back of our friend's station wagon. Georgia came to sit in my lap once it got dark and quickly fell asleep. It was a good night, an adventure for the st
art of summer. Once we got home and carried the kids up to bed it was 11:30! Rob said we deserved a medal. We did get to sleep in a bit in the morning.
Sylvia is dying to go to the drive-in, but I didn't realize Up was playing this weekend. Maybe I'll snatch her away some night this week for a Mama-big sister date.
ReplyDeleteThat would be great. Let us know. My friend said Ice AGE 3 is coming so maybe we can all go to that?
ReplyDeleteOoh, yes. Just checked the drive-in and it's "The Hangover" right now. Think it'd be appropriate for an almost-5? She's very precocious. We'll bone up on Ice Age 1 and 2 so we get all of the subtleties.
