The gates were supposed to open at 8:15 or so. We went last night and they weren't ready to open 'til 8:30. It's $7 for people aged 10+, children ages 5-9 are $1, 4 and under are free. The $1 folks get a free glow in the dark glow-stick. (Smart safety idea--we always knew where they were.) After we had the vans in place our children ran and played. Frisbee and other run around games...and the munching began when the M&M's spilled and we tried to gather & grab them within the 10 second rule. We saw "G-Force and then Harry Potter 6...(We were home & in bed by 2ish--yawn). "G- Force" was actually a cute movie...and "HP6" was FANTASTIC!!! There are other choices too--there are 6 screens. The screens are corrugated metal painted white. It totally works. It was fun, and if the place makes it until next summer we will probably go again. If one stays for both movies it's very economical--and it looks like we could've stayed for a second showing of the first movie, too. That would've been 3 movies for the price of one. Wooohoo! You have to have an FM tuner on your radio, there are no "hook in the window" sound boxes (probably they were called speakers, huh?) like in the good old days. Dibs and Jeff got snacks: banana chips, p-nut M&M's, "Captian Crunch Berry" knock-off brand cereal (eaten dry), and Whoppers. The Sorensen's brought popcorn and licorice and muddy buddies. Side note: I brought bug spray...not a good idea to eat after you've applied the spray with your hands...unless you wash your hands, of course. We took benches out of our vans and set them in front of our vans...one blanket and bunches of pillows between the vans...children switching places/vans...Ingrid did the rounds with Julia in her stroller. Jules was too tired, poor munchkin. So this is an un-organized and run-on-ish blog. Moral of the story: it was SO FUN, and I'm so tired, but it was worth it. Thanks for organizing this Ingrid!!! Good friends, good memories, good times....good!

Where did you find a drive-in??? I haven't seen one in years since they closed the two on the road to Springville.
The link to the drive-in is as you scroll over the titles of the movies we saw. My friend Ingrid found the location. she said there are at least 2 Drive-in movies in SLC. I hope they stay around--it is sad our 2 local drive-ins closed! Thankfully SLC is close enough to be do-able. :)
We had so much fun! Thanks for the great post about it all.
Your link to the drive-in didn't work for me:(
Sounds like you had a great time!
Bethany--It should work now. Try it! It was so much fun--you guys should go too!!!!
Do you realize you have two drive in posts in a row?
