"Hey Boo Boo"

Another summer come and gone!
Last night we had our second annual Labor Day Weekend backyard drive-in!
The Huckleberry Hound show started out the evening with Yogi and Boo Boo, and with the days as short as they are it was before 8. Then we watched the original Superman, with Christopher Reeves and Margot Kidder. Every time we do this it gets bigger and better! Last time we improved the sound system thanks to Rob & Wendy! Yesterday Dan built a frame for our screen and it looked like a drive- in. Another big thank you to Pete for being the head of the AV department with the projector and computer.

Here are our does and don't of backyard drive-in movie
Don't
  • Use a sheet you can see through it when projecting the movie on it
  • Watch anything with higher than a PG rating-you still have live next to your neighbors
  • Go to to much trouble with food and drinks-I make popcorn and have pop & beer
Do
  • Choose an older movie that you maybe haven't seen for a while or kids haven't seen at all. Such as; Superman, The Princess Bride, Original Star Wars, Goonies, Karate Kid, ect.
  • Go to the dollar store and get glow necklaces and bracelets. These are a huge hit!
  • Have everyone bring their favorite movie snack-you will get a buffet of delectable treats!
  • Invite Me!
Everyone have a great first day back to school!
