Inception

Chris and I tried to go on a date on Saturday. We've been DYING to see Inception since we first saw the trailer. We had plans since it opened up and Saturday was the first day we could get a sitter and go out. Well, our date night curse still reigns supreme. We had to bring Fiona with us since I'm breast feeding and I don't want to worry about a 13 year-old watching a newborn with a bottle. We got to the theatre 30 mins early. Got seats up high so we could stand with her if needed. And she ended up fussing all through the previews and the first 5 minutes of the movie. It was jam packed and I could feel the annoyance of the girl sitting next to me. Chris and I would hate it if someone stayed at the movie with a crying baby so we grabbed our bag and left. Very sad moment. We still had fun together. Walking around stores and eating ice cream in the beautiful misty rain.

Chris told a co-worker about our sad date and she suggested the drive in. Ummm. GENIUS! They were playing Despicable Me and Inception. Double Feature for less money for the whole family than it would have cost me and Chris to go to the theatre to see it. It took a lot of convincing to get Chris to ditch school work and to do it that night. I told him I already bought cookies for it PLUS it the anniversary of our first date where we went and saw "Signs"so going to see a movie as a family was a perfect idea. He agreed and at dusk we packed up the kids, tons of blankets and pillows and went to the drive in. SO MUCH FUN! And a really awesome retro drive in. 

The kids and I watched despicable me while Chris worked on pictures. Then we moved them to the front seats to sleep while Chris, Fiona, and I cuddled during Inception. The only problem was our car battery died half way through but thankfully we had parked right by a speaker. The movie was, I'll admit, MIND BLOWING! It's a little over two hours and felt like 1 hour. And the more I think about it the more I want to watch it again.

All these pictures are setting up the car and waiting for the movie to start. It's fun letting the kids take over the camera to see what they get. And Fiona got passed around a lot. She's such a good sport.
