The Drive In

We went to the drive in for the first time as a family this past weekend. It was so much fun and so family friendly. The doors open at 630 so we got there in time to set up, get something to eat and let the kids play. The only downside of the whole drive in thing is the movie doesn't start til dark which around here is 930ish. But it was still a very enjoyable evening and I hope we can go back soon. We didn't stay for the second feature. Those people must get out after 1:00 in the morning! There are three drive ins in the vicinity of our town so I hope to try them all eventually. As a kid I remember going to see The Song of the South at the drive in near Montgomery Mall and playing on the swings right up next to the screen. It was fun then and still is!

Hamburger Cupcakes

I made these for our church picnic a few weeks ago. They were fun to make and cute. I got the idea from Bakerella's site. Here's the link. She also has a posting of making hamburger cake pops which are just too darling! I will say not many of these cupcakes got eaten at the picnic so keep that in mind if you are thinking of making them. I made the little "fries" too, shown in the last photo here.

The pool is open!

I took the kids swimming at our local public pool the day it opened Memorial Day weekend. I love this pool. There are no bells and whistles for sure but there's something nostalgic about these old city pools. For one thing, it's cheap, only 3 bucks for the swimmers (it was 2 when we first moved here) and I didn't have to pay to watch. It's close to our house. And the little kiddie pools are contained within a fence so I could just sit near the edge and watch. They even have a lifeguard at the kiddie pools. There are much nicer pools in the area that we also like to visit during the summer but this one, Juniper Hills, being over 50 years old, is sort of special.
