we drove in

it sounded really fun to see cars 2 at a drive-in with friends. and it was. kind of. the friends were very fun...

unfortunately, the drive-in part was a bit romanticized in my mind (surprise, surprise). instead of my imagined feel good experience, it was crowded and inconveinent. it smelled like beer (they might drive in sober, but i don't know if they drive out that way) and it felt like camping. do you know how i feel about camping? about the same way i feel about oral surgery. only oral surgery is better because you can be knocked out for it.

the movie was just okay for me. but to find a movie that all 3 older kids want to can be rare, so cars 2 was a good choice as far as that goes. tate loved it. em seemed mildly interested. and bill seemed completely disinterested...
jack fell asleep. and lulu wouldn't fall asleep. but she also wouldn't watch the movie either...
though i am glad we did it, i think we will stick to redbox for our movies and sonic as our drive-in.

Where is this drive-in located? I can't think of one that's close anymore....I thought they closed the Kearney one, but I could be wrong.

Oh, I received a pair of shorts from Clare's party that we now think are Emma's...long story. I'll swing by with them sometime.
