Drive-in Movies

On Father's Day weekend Dan was on call for work so we didn't get a chance to go do anything really fun like we were hoping.  Well we got the crazy idea to check the nearby drive-in theater to see what was playing.  I wanted to make sure whatever movie was playing was something safe for Amelia- since she would probably watch parts of it.  Sure enough- Madagascar 3 was playing.  So we called up some friends, packed up the car and took off on an adventure. 

Impossible to get 6 kids to look AND smile- of course my child is the one that won't even stay in her seat

Amelia and Luke did great!  Amelia loved playing with the other kids before the movie.  During the movie she kept moving from her chair to Daddy's lap, to Mommy's lap and even Jennifer's lap.  She only watched a small part of the movie and was very concerned that the lion was hurt.  We all attempted to stay for the second movie- an adult comedy thinking the kids would all crash.  My friend and her family ended up leaving since her crew of 4 kids just were not going to sleep like we hoped.  I had to force Amelia to lay still in my lap and then she finally crashed probably around 11:30pm!  I fed Luke right before the movie started and he went right to sleep.  We brought along the pack-n-play and he slept in there for the rest of the time we were there!

he is so funny with those eyebrows!

Oh here comes the lip- man this kid knows how to work that lip.  My friend Jennifer was right next to him guarding him from all the kids and he looked right up at her with "the lip". She couldn't resist "the lip" either- he was swiftly picked up and cuddled!

What a late night but we sure had fun!  I see more drive-in movies in our future :)
