Drive-In Movie




The last six weeks or so, we haven't done much because of Spencer's knee, but a couple weekends ago we decided to go up to the drive-in in Salt Lake. Wall-E was playing so we thought we could take the kids to see it. We loaded up the truck, and borrowed my brother Ryan's blow-up mattress to put in the back and were off. We got there about an hour early, and it was a good thing. My brother said it only took like 15 minutes to blow up the mattress, well an HOUR later it still wasn't blown up all the way and the battery in the pump died. SO, we had to do a balancing act with Spencer on one side, and I and the kids on the other. The mattress was basically in a V-shape with us rolling towards the center. It was pretty fun anyway though. Except after getting all settled in on the mattress, the movie started, and Gavin said "Mom, lets go home.." WHAT! we just drove all the way here, bought you a bunch of treats, spent one-hour blowing up this mattress and you won't even watch the movie? Two-year olds, go figure. Brooklyn however loved the whole experience and didn't make a peep. Gavin was okay as long as I kept shoving candy in his mouth. All in all think we'd do it again, minus the mattress :)
