Friday Night - was movie night - but we went to a Drive-in movie.
The drive-in is in Shiner-an hour away from us. It rained "cats and dogs" on us while driving there. Joseph took a friend (that was staying the night with us). You know the outdoor drive-in from yester-year! We saw the movie- "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince". We took chairs and the boys sat outside the car under the stars.
It is a nostalgic thing for me. Remembering how we would go to the drive-in with Mom & Dad. Mom would make popcorn balls, and we would also take mosquito coils and light them up in the car. We would go to the concession stand for a coke, and also get to swing while waiting for the others to go to the bathroom.
Intermission time (reel changes) they call out about 6 ticket #'s and if it is yours, YOU WIN. You win a coke or an ice cream or nachos or popcorn. The last time we went we had won a pizza - a whole pizza. WOW! This time we had 2 of the #'s. We got an ice cream and a popcorn.
We didn't stay for the 2nd movie -which I did want to see-it was "My Sister's Keeper". But it was midnight and we had to drive 1 hour home.
The boys were asleep before we got out of Shiner. So we had a quiet drive home.
Everyone needs to experience a movie at an outdoor theatre - -the drive-in theatre.
