Drive-in

So, I don't have any pics because of course I brought my camera and it had no memeroy card....AAGH! But, putting that behind us, last night we took our family to the drive-in with a bunch of our friends. SO FUN! We went to see Pirates and Wild Hogs. I had heard Pirates was bad and didn't expect much out of it since I had been very dissapointed with Pirates 2. But, I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it much better than I had been led to believe. The ending was a bummer, not the way I wanted the whole Elizabeth Swan - William Turner escapade to turn out, but otherwise, not half bad. In fact, not bad at all.
Anyway, now that I've gone off on that tangent, lets get back to the drive-in. As I said before, SO FUN! The last movie I saw at the drive-in was Dances With Wolves. That tells you how long ago that was. We took Brandon's truck and blew up our air mattress in the bed. We of course stopped at Wal-mart and filled our cart with an unspeakable amount of candy (none of which we ate) We had 3 of our friends and their families there as well, which was a blast! We got there around 8 and so we killed about 1 1/2 hrs before the movie finally started. They had a little playground for the kids down next to the screen and the women sat around and talked while the men sat around and talked. Honestly, I am so blessed! I have such wonderful friends, the best friends I have ever had in my life, and I've had a lot of friends (not to be bragging, I've just always had a lot of friends and these ones are the BEST!!) I am just so blessed! What an incredible group of people I associate with. We do so many fun things.
I really seem to be having a problem with tangents this morning. It is no doubt a result of little sleep, which again brings us back to the drive-in. The drive-in was delightfully ghetto, right next to a trailer park (which is not knockin' - I live in a trailer) It was also delightfully retro; totally took you back in time, which was fun. So, to make a very long post shorter, we will be making the drive-in a summer hot-spot. Too fun not to go back. Maybe next time we will have a tailgate party. Brandon and I have already discussed that next time we will bring our speakers for a full on surround sound experience. WAY TOO MUCH FUN! What a great night. Quick hitters: no we did not stay for Wild Hogs, we are too old to stay up that late. What did we do with our kids?: they fell asleep next to us on the air mattress. Who was there?: The Andersens, the wards, and Briget and Thad (for some odd reason, I don't know their last name....that's lame. They're our good friends. Wow, I'm a nerd) And now I have officially exhausted all of my tangents. Have a good day.
