Change and transition are soon to be very prevalent in my life, so to make sure I am still able to commit to this blog I will be forgoing the three posts a week format and only posting once a week. Thanks for your understanding and I hope that you will continue to find the information useful.
Movie theaters can be a stressful and often impossible adventure for families with young children. An hour and a half is a very long time to expect a little one to sit much less be completely quiet. A great, unknown and almost forgotten alternative is the drive-in movie theater. While these theaters from the past are scarce, if you are lucky enough to have a nicely run one nearby, I highly recommend giving the experience a chance. Often, you can either sit in your car or bring lawn chairs, a blanket, and a portable radio to watch the movie while sitting in front of your car. You can bring small puzzles or other toys if your child loses interest in the film and there is usually enough space around the field to throw a ball, a frisbee, or just let your child run around for a bit. Most drive-in movies offer a double feature, so you can dress your child in their pj's and let them sleep through the second film or simply leave after the first one. Visit the drive-ins website to see if there is a drive-in theater near you.
