Hope everyone had a great July 4th. The girls and I watched the QMIX fireworks on the 3rd - David was on a boys night out. It was nice, but we missed David. Friday Ariane & Alex came over to watch David set off our fireworks. It was nice this year because there are more families in the neighborhood - and so other people participated therefore we had a much bigger display. Saturday night we took all the girls to a drive in movie. They thought it was pretty cool and everybody stayed awake all the way through. But on the way home (at 2:30 am!) they got a history lesson that blew their minds. They know we're old but....we explained that a large majority of the movies we saw as teenagers were at the drive in. That movies came to the regular theatre, then a month or so later you could see them at the drive in but then it was usually YEARS before you would be able to see them again - and that would have been when they came to tv. No VCR or DVD to rent when you wanted....they hadn't been invented yet! Kind of put it in a different light! Of course then they had a wonderful time quizzing us as to what we did have .... Computers... No. Video games....pong only. Cds.... no, not invented yet. INDOOR PLUMBING......very funny!!! We had a great time and I'm glad there was still an old dinosaur of a drive in still around to share with the girls.

Where is the Drive In around here...I would love to take Tyler:)
Drive Ins are so FUN!!!
(Did you remember to unhook the speaker BEFORE you drove off:)
That sounds like a great night! Did you also tell the girls you had to walk 5 miles to school uphill in the winter holding a hot potato to keep you hands warm and then eat it for lunch?? OR did you tell them what YOU used to do at the drive in????ha haha h
