I thought I`d share a cute story of our first family drive-in ....yes they still do exist:D
One of my daughter`s gets terribley scared of the dark and loud sounds, so everytime we tried going to a regular movie it turned into a disaster. So I get a brainstorm to go to the drive-in...
We drive almost an hour and get there 20 minutes before the movie (Shrek II) is about to start and they tell us it`s been sold out for over an hour already.:(
I look over to my right and there is a huge hill with a couple SUV`s already parked, but they had all the flat spots at the top already taken...I said WTF ....I can make it up there no problem:dunno
my wife looks at me as says can you really:confused: Well I wasn`t going home:crazy first attempt...almost took out a telephone pole sliding sideways...went a bit further to an even steeper section and back right up the hill, put it in park/ emergency brakes and it held:D ..
the kids were all over the place and pretty crazy but we made it through the whole movie, with popcorn, icecream, cookies, chips, and a few visits to the potty:rofl
It was quite an experience but it was the first movie my wife and I have seen in over two years and we had a great time...just wish there were more drive-ins like the old days:cool
