The Drive In || Saturday, April 26, 2008

Tonight we took advantage of one of Maryville's veritable gems: the drive in. Now, historically, we've had some interesting times at the drive in. Like the time we took a car that didn't have a working radio. Or the time we went, but forgot the diaper bag, and had to create a makeshift diaper out of a blanket and some tape. On that scale, tonight was rather uneventful. I personally had to suppress a riot (i.e., keep Jodie from kicking the asses of the smokers parked next to us), Myers fell on his head (I okay daddy. I OKAY. OKAY!!!), and I stepped on a capri sun and got sticky between my toes. Aside from that, things went well. We got to see Nim's Island (Bailey has been begging to watch it since, o, a month before it came out). Things didn't go well enough, however, to take advantage of one of the best deals in town. Did you know that you can get a season pass to the drive in for two adults and two children for $100, and that you can come as often as you want? Two new release movies a weekend, all spring and summer. How great is that? Anyway, I'll end the Parkway plug there. If they had a non-smoking section, we'd be all over it.
