View Dale Drive In

Mike came home tonight from a weekend away with the suggestion that we go see Toy Story 3 at the drive in. Great idea since we haven't been there in ages and it is closing its doors permanently at the end of this season.
So, after everyone got bundled up and collected plenty of blankets and pillows, we borrowed his dads truck and headed to the movie. When we got there, we found that Toy Story 3 played second and a different movie was playing first that we hadn't even heard of. After some quick reviews and a PG rating, we decided to stick it out and watch it.
When the movie was over, the lights came on for intermission and we found all four kids sacked out in the back of the pickup. After a short debate on if we should stay to watch Toy Story 3 by ourselves, we packed up, carried each kid into the cab, and headed home.
As we drove off, some friends of ours were headed to the restroom with a herd of children- mostly younger than Danissa and Ethan. I thought it funny that all of theirs (between the 3 families that were there were 13 kids all together) only 2 were asleep.
All four of ours were. Oh well... it was fun!

Ah, yeah, I wish it wasn't closing! We took Cory when he was little hoping he would sleep and we could watch the movies... no go. Now I don't think it would work so well either. I have great memories of going in high school with friends and also there happened to be one in the town where I went to college so I went there a couple times too!
