back in time...

We went back in time Saturday night when we watched a movie at a drive-in theater. This is according to Matt who has fond memories of going to the drive-in. It was a first for my brother and me. We went to The Showboat Drive In Theater in Hockley, Texas. For $5 you get to watch a double feature in the comforts of your own car.

The gates open at 5:30 pm and the show starts at dusk...or 7 pm. There is a concession stand that has just about any kind of fried food you could want along with clean bathrooms. We went when it was quite cold so we were not sitting outside our cars like the people pictured above, who I'm sure are covered in bug spray.

We heard about the drive-in in August from our babysitter, but there was no way that Matt was going to go during the summer...and I agreed. We remembered about it this weekend and had a good time. We're going to do it again!

We watched The Green Hornet (PG-13) which wasn't the best movie, but it was certainly entertaining. Bella roamed around the car for about half the show, then finally fell asleep in my lap. While roaming she intermittently watched the film. We're going to have to start censoring what she's watching. When a character was talking about reigning over the city, Bella broke out in song with "Rain, Rain, Go away" which she repeated loudly for a while. There were some fakish shooting scenes that Bella reacted with a "ut-oh." I was thinking "ut-oh" too as she was actually realizing what was happening.

We didn't stay for the second movie, but I bet we do the next time we drive out to the drive in.
