can you believe i have made it to age 35 and had never once been to the drive in movies? it took running into a friend we hadn't seen for quite some time, (who had her grandsons staying with her for few days during the holidays - they are similar ages to joseph and madeline) to finally make it happen. they had planned to go and asked us to come along.
(sorry for the terrible shot - purely so i have a record of how it's set up)
i loved it! i baked a pile of stuff that afternoon to bring along so we would be well fed - (i mean i think i probably could have fed our friends and the car on the other side of us as well if i had wanted to) which the kids gleefully shared with us adults before settling down to watch the movie.
(side note, if you plan to really enjoy your night, ensure the movie isn't complete trash haha. the evening movie was angry birds 2. oh my goodness, give me strength.)

alex loved it too, but seemed a little confused as the night went on as to why no one had produced a bed for him to go to sleep in. he snuggled with both of us, but was not very comfortable at all - just wanted to go down for a proper sleep. also noted for next time.
it was such a cool night. i will 110% be coming for another movie at some stage. i excitedly told dougs dad all about it and he was so keen to come look. he told me all about the drive-in's he went to when he was younger (as did my dad when i told him! haha) and was loving it. i hope as time goes on he gets well enough for us to make it happen. there are so many things we still want to do with him. ❤
