Drive-In

On August 11, 2012 we headed to the drive-in as a family for Conor's first ever drive-in experience.  You may recall that he went to the movie theater a few months back to see the Chimps movie by Disney (you can read all about it here: http://ourbabystep1.blogspot.com/2012/05/movie-baby.html ).

Well, since summer is drawing to an end Josh and I are trying to check off our summer activities wish list and the drive-in was one we hadn't done yet.  So we packed up both boys (Hunter came too) and loaded up the car with a few snacks and drinks and off we went.  The movies were NOT kid friendly but since our plan was for Conor to sleep through the entire experience we were ok with it.

When we got to the lot we found the best spot for our family and then the fun really began.  Conor was not quite ready for sleep so out of the carseat he came and the car became his playground!

It was a little rainy before the show but once the show started the rain stopped!

I sat in the back with Conor so that I could nurse him, change him, and take care of his needs during the movie while Hunter took the passenger seat.  Conor loved pulling up on the driver's seat and peering through the headrest posts at his Daddy and Hunter.  As you can see from the picture below -  pulling up is something Conor spends a lot of time doing.

About 1/2 way through the first movie (THE WATCH) Conor was out cold.  So I placed him back in his carseat and did the buckles loosely in case we had to leave suddenly.  He didn't stir again until just as the second movie (TED) was ending so he did very well!  Of course, we were prepared to leave at any time either of our boys needed to head home.

So, one more 'summer fun time' item crossed off the list and another new 'first' for Conor!

PS.  Both movies were pretty funny but both were a little more inappropriate than we expected - I honestly am not sure I would let my young teen (if I had one) watch either movie.
