Drive-In

Last Saturday (June 14th) Mike and I decided to try taking Zoe to a drive-in movie. We were SO excited about it. We took our camping chairs, lots of snacks, and blankets. The plan was to see The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man. The first movie started at 9:00pm and we figured that Zoe could hang out for a while then she would fall asleep by the time the first movie started. No problem, she would just sleep through the movies and Mike and I would have a little date night.

Ha Ha. What were we thinking?

So we got there about an hour early and Zoe was having a GREAT time. She was hamming it up for all of our car neighbors and loving the fact that she was up late and hanging out with Mom and Dad. When the movie started though and it was time to settle down and be quiet Zoe must not have gotten the memo. She was being so loud and got really whiny. We couldn't roll up the windows because it was about 95 degrees outside but if we turned our car on then the inside lights would come on and disturb all the people beside and behind us. Argh. We didn't know what to do. We were stuck!

So finally we packed up, turned the car on, and sped out. We were so embarrassed. And we didn't even get to see the movies!

Since then we have seen both movies. My friend, Natalie, watched Zoe while Mike, Lisa (who is visiting for 2 weeks!), and I went to see Iron Man on Wednesday and yesterday Mike's mom watched Zoe while we saw The Incredible Hulk.

Zoe and Mike hanging out while waiting for the sun to go down. Behind them were some of our car neighbors. They were nice but very interesting: especially because they were drinking hard liquor hidden in a McDonald's bag and had about 6 teeth among them.

You can't really tell but Zoe is sitting in a camping chair. She thought that was SO much fun. Also, if you look really closely you can see that Zoe's shirt says "I need my space". It's a shirt that Megan got for Zoe when she visited the Kennedy Space Center a couple weeks ago. Zoe wore this shirt on Saturday May 31st for the space shuttle launch and again this day for the landing.
