Tonight we took the kids to see The Jungle Cruise at The Mendon Drive In. This is a really nice place with a great atmosphere. It was mid week so it was not that packed and we had plenty of room to spread out. It was raining so we did not spread out at all. Allison and I stayed under the over of the rear hatch of the car and the kids stayed inside. We got there fairly early and finished playing a game of Phase 10 that we had started the night before. That is a rather long game to play. In the end we simply finished it. No need to declare a winner. FYI: – it was me.

I got some popcorn and we enjoyed some candy and ice cream right before the movie started. We only stayed for the first movie because that one finished around 11pm. That and we had already seen Black Widow and Andy was not going to stay up or want to watch that. We had a nice family night and enjoyed our time there. the rain never did get too bad until we headed home. then it poured and poured.

the Jungle Cruise movie was a fun one. There were some creepy bad guys that bothered Andy but there were also many fun Jungle Cruise jokes at the beginning and the end. Dwayne Johnson can deliver those lines like nobody’s business. I think that Eva really enjoyed the Emily Blunt character, too.

There was a special deal at the Mendon Drive-In for a Bugs Bunny cartoon marathon. For only $10 a car it made sense for use to take the kids for their very first Drive-In movie. The kids had never been to a drive in or seen a Bugs Bunny cartoon before. We weren’t sure how they’d respond to the trip but there was no worry since they enjoyed it very much.

Andrew loved the music and went dancing around over and over. He was hilarious. Eva wasn’t as thrilled at first but she soon began to laugh and enjoy herself. We were going to pick up hot dogs from Larry Joe’s New England Firepit but that closed at 5pm and we weren’t going to get to the Drive-In that early.
