As the World Turns

We love going to the movies but it can be rather expensive for a family of 5. I currently live in Las Vegas but prior to living here I lived in California. We all love going to the movies and had went to the Drive-In Theater in California quite a bit. Well we finally found a Drive-In theater out here in Vegas that is actually close to our house. The weather happened to be cooler last weekend so my family of 5 (which is me, my husband, and our 3 kids) went to the Drive-In on Saturday night. We also took our friends 2 kids as well, so there were 7 of us. We saw a double feature which was GI JOE and then TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE FALLEN. We only spent $28 and all 7 of us got to see 2 movies. Now that is way cheaper than going to the regular movie theater. Plus we go to sit outside and we brought our own drinks & snacks. We will definitely be going again in the near future. The next day, Sunday, some of our friends from California who were in town invited us to go swimming at the resort they were staying at. These are friends we met at a Preschool/Day Care that their kids and our kids used to go to out in California when we lived there. They have 3 kids and we have 3 kids. We met them at the resort around 12:30 and the kids swam the whole time we were there. This resort has an awesome pool area. The pool goes up to 4 1/2 feet deep which is perfect for kids and there are 4 different slides the kids and adults can get on and splash into the pool. We left around 5:30 and the kids were so tired. We came home and fixed some homemade pizzas. The kids ate and I went to bed real early and my husband stayed up and put the kids to bed around 10pm or so. We had a really great weekend and hope to go to the Drive-Ins again soon.
