Several times this summer, Ame asked to go to the Drive-in movies. Well every time she asked it wasn't a convenient weekend, or there was nothing "Kid-Friendly" playing. We looked once again this weekend (since it is the weekend b4 her birthday), but NO Kid Movies, so we decided to do the next best thing. Show a movie OUTSIDE our house. We put a mattress outside, and LOTS of blankets & pillows. When that sun went down boy it was COLD! One of our neighbors- Mercedi (she's 10 and Ame thinks she is the coolest) and her friend came over too. 
This was what the Hanamaikai Theatre looked like...
This was what the Hanamaikai Theatre looked like...not quite theatre quality, but Ame LOVED it and thought it was SUCH a fun idea.
THAT is all that mattered!
Kaipo was enjoying the little party, but fell asleep at the
end of the 1st movie, so we took him to bed.
Ame made it almost through the 2nd movie (it was 11:00)!
And this theatre was much cheaper to enjoy!

That looks like so much fun!! I remember doing that at the old Hanamaikai house way back when. Of course the movies weren't as kid friendly. Good times!!
What a great idea! I think that sounds WAY better than the drive-in!

very cute britt!
What a great idea! We've never been able to coordinate going to a drive-in with our kids either! This is something I might have to try -- my kids would love it!
wow, very ambitious and very fun, britt! who needs a drive-in!
