Earth Day and Rio

Todd and I enjoyed the festivities at Earth Day downtown near the Kids' World park. Ate healthy, organic food, visited earth-friendly vendor booths, marveled at eco-friendly inventions for the home, listened to stories, played games, and cooled off in a tent showing eco-oriented movies. All in all, it was a fun and relaxing day, and a perfect opportunity to enjoy the warm, sunny SB weather outdoors.

That evening, after dinner, the family trooped down to the drive-in to catch a showing of "Rio". It was Todd's first trip to the drive-in ever, and we all had a blast! It was nice to let Todd move around in his seat and make as much noise as he wanted, without worrying about disturbing other patrons. Kicking off our shoes and putting our feet up on the dash was comfortable. Bringing in our own snacks and drinks was cost-effective. And the prices overall were cheaper than a regular theater, as well. Only downside was the all the inconsiderate SUVs in front of us, who parked with their hatches open, blocking our view of the bottom part of the screen. But we had an enjoyable evening nonetheless. First family drive-in experience? A success! :-)
