We went to the drive-in again tonight.
We saw Nim's Island. E3 slept the entire time... yeah!, and E2 and E1 enjoyed the movie without little brother climbing all over the car.
**spoiler alert**
At the end, when Nim's missing father sailed home, the girls had the biggest smiles on their faces. The exact same smiles that I had seen not long ago when Stuntman walked off of the plane for R&R. I loved watching the girls reactions while they watched the father-daughter reunion on screen.... I have to admit, that it brought a few tears to my eyes.

A night out
We just returned from the movie.
The E's and I saw "Horton Hears a Who" at the drive-in movie theatre. Yes, there is one still around.
I remember going to the drive-in when I was little, it was very close to my house, so we went quite often. We would always go early so that we could play on the playground before the movie started. My mom would bring popcorn and buy me a malt-flavored ice cream that came with a wooden spoon. I never saw those sold anywhere else, it was my special drive-in treat. We would change into our pj's during the movie and fall asleep during the second show.
We only stayed for the first show tonight.. it was still a huge bargain. Only $8 per adult and kids under 11 are free. So that means that for the four of us, it was a whopping $8. Compare that to the fifty bucks or more it takes at the regular theatre when you factor in popcorn and twizzlers!
So, if you're in the SoCal area, there is a drive-in, it has multiple screens, shows new movies, and it's fun for the family.
Pacfic Vineland Drive-In in City of Industry. Just off of the 605 and Valley Blvd. Easy to get to from almost anywhere. It's not that close to our house, but it's worth it. Relive a part of your childhood... and go to the drive-in!
