A Little Friday Night Fun

I worked on our scrapbook yesterday, trying to catch up the month of June. Not only has this month been packed full of scrapbookable events, but this entire QUARTER has been packed full. I am a healthy combination of grateful and exhausted!

We had a fun little weekend, and I wanted to tell you about one of our dates!

The summer after we got married, Ryan planned a surprise date for us {still one of my most favorite dates he has ever planned} that took us to our first movie together...at the drive-in!

It was such a fun night. The weather was perfect, he had packed a dinner for us to eat there, and we cuddled up in the back of the car and watched Monsters University. And if I hadn't been smack in the middle of a gallbladder attack that night, it might well have been the perfect evening!

We rarely go to movies at the theater because we are too cheap, so we can still probably count on one hand the number of times we've gone, but this weekend, we went again...and once again, we went to the drive-in!

This time we went to see Finding Dory {no, we don't always watch kids' movies!} and it was again, a delightful evening. Ryan's mom was staying with us this particular day, and we didn't want to be lousy hosts who didn't provide dinner, so we ate together with her at home before we left, and when we arrived, the place was packed. But we found a couple of spots left in the front row, and we actually prefer that at the drive-in, so we rolled right in and fluffed up our car pallet!

I posted about our date on Instagram and it was in the Shuffle yesterday, and I had a few questions about where this particular screen is and how long it's been there! Here's the link to the story {it's been around since 1951} and also some info about prices and season passes for any of you who are local and interested.

We both had long weeks and didn't spend a lot of time on our appearance that day, so I apologize for our slightly bedraggled look.

Finding Dory was a cute little movie, and we had a blast watching it and spending time together!

Now that we've moved, this theater is just under an hour away from home, and since it didn't get dark until almost ten, it made for one late night, but it was such fun! Ryan's mom was asleep when we returned home, so we sneaked in and tried to be quiet, which as you might imagine, SO DID NOT WORK, but we did try!

Fun date - and if you're local, may I absolutely recommend this theater! {Bathrooms were even clean. I was impressed!!!}
