Drive-In's are Cool!

We took the kids to their first drive-in movie last weekend.  Guy and I used to go all the time when we lived in Arizona but haven't been since then.  I love them! I've decided it's the only way we can attempt to see a movie with young kids.  Tyler will not sit through them but really what 15 month old will unless you get really lucky and they sleep through it. But we never get that lucky! 

 We saw Shrek 3 and Iron Man 2 for $12 total. It was $6 each for Guy and I and then the kids were free. Isn't that an awesome deal!! I was wishing we had a bigger car though so we could laid down in the back of it, but we just pulled out our camping chairs and used those.  And when the kids got bored with the movie they would collect rocks and dig in the dirt.  I was hoping that they would both fall asleep by the time Iron Man came on but Brayden wouldn't go to sleep. So yes, my 4 year old watched all of Iron Man but what can you do. He loved it! I guess we'll need to find a drive-in in Florida if we want to see any movies there... 
I've decided that I am posting so much this week because I have a to-do list a mile long and I am really trying my hardest to avoid it! :) Cleaning, laundry, packing, running errands....yuck! I guess I better stop procrastinating...

WE LOVE drive-ins!
I just saw this article
(http://www.aolnews.com/science/article/a-memorial-day-guide-to-not-being-attacked-by-a-shark/19496587)
on sharks and I thought of you venturing into the big blue sea.
Allison, totally go for it!
I became a certified scuba diver for a trip to Hawaii and it is totally amazing!
Just don't wear a black or white swimsuit as sharks are most attracted to those colors on swimmers, it appears.
HAVE FUN!!!!!!

I haven't been to a drive-in in years! I know there's one in SL. We should make an evening of it sometime this summer. I bet our kids would love it too.
