Saturday night we went to the drive-in movies in Ennis. It was soooo much fun! We arrived at 6pm, got in line, and waited until the gate opened at 6:30. Once inside the gate, we found our parking spots, and pulled out all our chairs, blankets, toys, etc. It was really fun because the kids were able to run around and play for a while before the movie started at about 8:30pm. They have a concession stand there, where we got dinner, and popcorn, candy...and more! Tatum literally ATE the entire time once the movies started. Yes, Movies...you pay $6 per adult, and under 5 is FREE, then you get to watch 2 movies back to back! What a deal! You just have to pay for gas to get to Ennis, 20 miles east of Dallas. Not too far! We saw Nim's Island and Horton Hears a Who. And Tatum ate through both movies! She ate she corn dog once we got settled in, played until the movie started, got all cuddled up, then ate Popcorn, Cotton Candy, Dots, and Marshmallows. She would have had more if I would have let her! It was cold once the sun went down, but it was nice under blankets. Tatum's body, hands and feet were completely warm once we got back in the truck to leave! I was a little chilly, but was not really dressed for the cool night. Needless to say, we will be back again once it warms up a bit! I felt like we should have been wearing Poodle Skirts and leather jackets because of the atmosphere. It was totally set back in the day, but was so much fun! I want to open a Drive-In theater here in McKinney or somewhere close. It was packed full of people and cars, and everyone had a really good time!!
As you tell by Tatum's face in the picture above, she had a blast eating and watching the movie!
This was taken before it got dark. Charla brought a bunch of outdoor toys for the kids to play with. Tatum liked this ball and cone game.
