To the Drive-in we go!

Taylor has been begging for a while to take the kids to the drive-in movies and we finally found an open Friday night followed by an open Saturday (necessary for the recovery time). It just so happened that Toy Story 3 came out so all 4 boys were ecstatic.
We were disappointed when we first got there and saw the entire lot full of minivans. Disappointment turned to joy though as we were waved through to the very empty front of the lot where only the short cars get to park. YEAH! We've been borrowing Taylor's parent's Volvo for the past year since they no longer have teenage drivers and just haven't gotten rid of it yet. It has a great rear-facing backseat that folds down flat so after it got dark we just put Miles in there and he slept the whole time. We sat out front on lawn chairs, ate popcorn and drank sodas and had a fabulous time. No bugs, no humidity, cheap family entertainment. We love Utah!Can you tell Miles is excited to be up past his bedtime? And to show off his mad clapping skills?
And in honor of the movie the boys wore their Toy Story jammies. They both seriously giggled through the opening credits. So excited!
Isaac loved the whole thing. Ethan got scared by the monkey with the cymbals and spent the rest of the movie on Taylor's lap. A good night and lots and lots of sleeping on Saturday.
