The Drive-in Movies

Have you ever been to a drive-in movie theatre? In Tulsa, there is an iconic theatre called the Admiral Twin. It was featured in the movie The Outsiders, among other things. It's a historic Route 66 attraction. You can read all about the theatre by going HERE.

While living in Tulsa over the past 11 years, we have gone to the drive-in movie a couple of times. We saw Cars and G-Force there.

But couple of years ago, the movie theatre burned.

Notice that The Last Exorcism was playing when it burned?

Through an uproaring of private donations, it was rebuilt and opened again this summer, better than ever.

This weekend we took the kids, along with our friend Megan and her daughter, to see a double-feature of Ice Age: Continental Drift and Brave. (Yes, I somehow managed to stay up until 1:30 a.m. to accomplish this.)

Not only are drive-in movies cheaper ($27 versus the upwards of $80 plus snacks at a traditional movie theatre to see those two movies), but it's fun to sit all together in some lawn chairs or in the back of the car. You can talk and be loud without worrying about bothering your neighbor. The kids can wiggle and stand up as many times as they want.

It was a fun night!
