Why so serious?

Took the familial entourage to the drive in last night.
First off, let me say "Dark Knight, third time. Awesome."

We've been wanting to go for years, but never have. Then in the last week, we've been watching the playlist.
Kung Fu Panda
Dark Knight
Hancock

Seemed perfect. Something for the kids. Then they fall asleep, and we have two more movies to watch, and it's cool if the kids are awake too.

But low and behold on Friday, they switch the lineup.
Dark Knight
Some stupid movie
Another stupid movie

Bummer.
So we went for the one show, and had a great time.

The movie drive in experience however offers a lot more than the neighborhood theatre.
Three movies, one price.
Kids 12 and under, free!
Bring a grill and cook out.

WHAT?! Yes, you read that correctly.
For every 5 cars there were 3 grills. People had the little kettles out with burgers, chicken, etc.
One group had a big table grill and bowls of salads, a dozen people at least.

And the grass area in front of the screen was filled with people throwing balls, frisbees, and just running around.

Something I'll want to do again sooner than later.
