Delicious Ambiguity: Drive-In Movie

All great intentions of updating the blog went right out the window when Erik decided to do some more traveling on his time off. He helps with some research, so has to take the only computer we have with him. After much wining about not being able to blog when he's gone (and being about three months behind on blogging), Erik surprised me with a tablet. Although it has taken a week for me to finally find an app that may work on this device, I've been rather disappointed in the blogging capabilities of the tablet and have wondered if I should take it back and exchange it for another little laptop. Well, today is the last true test. Let's see if this new app will update the blog successfully!

Last week we got to spend some much needed, uninterrupted time with Erik. One night after all afternoon in the sprinkler and a trip to Dairy Queen, Erik had the great idea of taking the kids to a drive-in movie! We didn't really know what to expect, but the kids LOVED it! We showed up a little early, had a picnic, ran around for a while, and then just as it was getting dark, we settled in the back of the Excursion with some blankets and candy for the movies.

First we watched Madagascar 3, which was super cute. Then the plan was for the kids to fall asleep while Erik and I watched the second movie, Men in Black 3. Klaasen fell right to sleep and Maida finally passed out after she had seen a few of the aliens, but Skogen stayed awake for the whole movie! I'm not really sure that he liked the movie, or even paid that much attention. I think he was just so happy to be with Erik that he wanted to spend every last second he could with him. It was very cute!

The kids had BLAST at the drive-in and have been begging to go again. Since the drive-in is closing after this season, we plan to make it a few more times before the summer is over and take some friends with us! It is so nice to find an activity that the entire family really enjoys!
