A few months back I read an article in a Frisco Flyer magazine that comes monthly (free in the mail). It spoke of the drive-in theatres of long ago. It was a very fun article with nostalgic items of the past.
At the end of the article it highlighted The Galaxy Drive-In Theatre in Ennis Texas. I checked out the show and show times and up was Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs (one we have not seen) and Night At The Museum: Battle At The Smithsonian (one we HAVE seen and loved). What could we want more - A DOUBLE FEATURE with TWO GREAT MOVIES.
The only problem: showtime is at dusk (after 9) and Ennis Texas is 21 miles South of Dallas. We are about 20 miles NORTH of Dallas. Then we have to travel THRU Dallas - another 20 miles (it seemed, but probably not THAT long).
Long story short - we arrived home at 2:30am. I don't think the boys ever stayed up that late before. Emma and I slept through the 2nd feature in the back of the truck. (We brought a blow-up air mattress.) But Those Thomas Boys have TRUE Thomas Genes: they will stay awake through any movie and not even get a bit tired and fall asleep. Oh No Way!

that is so funny!!! I can't believe the boys stayed awake so long ... TELL ME that they fell asleep in the car on the way home!! what a fun thing to do, though. That's what summer vacation is for!
The Thomas curse lives on!
i read that article too and really wanted to go but obviously had the same concern: logistics. I wish they had one in north DFW. Of course my kids would be awake too and I'd be completely asleep!!
Yep, FAmous Footwear! Which kid? Ethan would think it was cool if it was Ben.
Curse? I think not. How else do you think Dad was always able to be awake when we got home late as teenagers?
