We packed up Quincy, stopped at Someburros for dinner (duh!! LOL) and headed to a double feature at the local drive-in theater. For those of you who are wondering whether there are really still drive-in theaters... the answer is yes!
The first showing was "Blind Side!" LOVED it!!! (in a cheesy voice). Both Adam and I really liked the movie, however, according to Adam, there were some cheesy parts. Maybe so, but I think it was one of the best movies I've seen so far in 2010 and Sandra Bullock was amazing in it. One of her best roles since Miss Congeniality. :) HA!
The first movie went off without a hitch, with exception of a little fussiness from Quincy. The second movie we saw was "Sherlock Holmes." We drove (about 20 feet) over to the next screen and waited for the next flick to start. We were surrounded by 2 or 3 trucks filled with lots of young adults. They packed everything in their house up but the kitchen sink (now THAT saying makes me feel real old... thanks Grandma!) Seriously, they had an area rug, couch, the works... these people were prepared!!! It was an impressive display.
Adam liked "Sherlock Holmes," but Sunny dozed off around 10:30 PM or so... it was THAT good! :) A few minutes later, Sunny suddenly woke to ask Adam to turn the car engine on for a few minutes so our car battery wouldn't die. You see, at our drive-in theater, you listen to the sound through your own car radio so you leave the car battery on. Adam began to start our car and pretended (or at least that is what Sunny thought) that the battery died. No pretending here!! Our battery was officially dead, meaning not only did we get to watch the last hour of the movie in silence, but we were "stuck" in our car. Our car automatically locks from the inside after a few minutes. Once it locks you cannot open it from the inside unless you use the keypad. Since our car battery was dead, we could only manually unlock the car. Unfortunately, if you open the car from the inside without the keypad, you will be alarmed (pun intended) to find out that the car alarm sounds. There was no way we would humiliate ourselves around all our young neighbors - and it was only courteous of us not to ruin the movie for everyone else, sooooo... we sat in silence as our car windows started to fog up from our hot and heavy breathing! :) Really, our windows did fog up because it was cold outside (by Arizona standards) and there were three of us breathing (nothing else was going on, trust us) inside. We couldn't help but laugh and were sure that our "neighbors" thought there was something more going on inside. Little did they know that we were stuck inside, holding a sleeping baby, watching the BEST (sense the sarcasm) movie ever. :)
When the movie FINALLY got over, we opened the door and, sure enough, the alarm sounded off. I'm sure we looked helpless and stupid. In fact, we must have looked so pathetic, that our neighbors, who brought everything but the kitchen sink (including jumper cables), jumped our battery and we were off faster than you could say drive-in theater. At our house, there is NEVER a dull moment!!!
