WanYing enthusiastically embraced the experience, especially the churro and pizza consumption, although she wasn't as on-board as one might have hoped with the going-to-sleep-because-you-are-hysterically-exhausted part.
We had such fun hanging out with the Thomases (visiting from far too far away). The kids took full advantage of Rainy's drive-in amenities and watched the whole movie from the top bunk. Truly the best seat in the house (parking lot?) 
Steve really upped the ante on the Rainy drive-in experience. Not only does she have a new fridge that kept our Fat Boys frozen until just the right moment (Steve's Christmas present from my parents) and new canvas on her upper bunk (Steve's Christmas present from my dad's new van because he no longer needed the canvas he ordered for his old van), but the audiophillic experience went up a notch this time with a new bass tube. No, the irony of a powered subwoofer in an 87 VW Vanagon does not escape me.
- Why is my husband at a pawn shop?
- "Been eying" implies repeated trips to the pawn shop.
- Wait a minute - my husband watches the children... that means my children are shopping with my husband at the pawn shop!

Sasha just might be a fashionista in the making. Don't worry about a subwoofer in an old VW van-the liberal arts Baby Boomers are the same people with stock portfolios and blackberries today. The Times They Are a-Changin', right?
The pawn shop isn't that bad. My dad used to take us to pick the dump. He'd get all excited about things like a used t.v. that had color-that meant a ring of color around the outside of the screen and maybe one other color-you know, yellow or pink faces for about a month before the color tube went. He would also come home with things like a pair of peacocks because someone threw them in to the deal, and how could he resist a deal like that? So we all had peacock feather headdresses to run around in.
Hope you liked the movie as well as the experience. We saw it Friday. Our son prefers Cars2; I prefer Cars.

Any chance you are looking to adopt a 50-something grandma (who just happens to conveniently live next door)? I want to go to the drive-in, eat pizza and churros!(Did someone forget the chocolate?) I would be good, I promise! You guys are awesome and I love your blog :)
