In theory this idea sounded like TONS of fun. I mean what could be more fun than watching a Cars movie in your car? Then again when you are dealing with the dynamics of 11 children all under the age of 5 after 9 PM some of which did not nap that afternoon....anything can happen!!!
But....it went really well and the kids (and parents) had a great time tail-gating before the movie. They hula-hooped, ran around in the parking lot chasing soccer balls and frisbees, picnicked, and played in the concrete and dirt (I don't have these pics on my camera, but I'm sure they will turn out hilarious. M basically had a dirt mask and all of their hands were black.).
UPDATE: I got the picture of the dirty face. And as a friend reminded me, M kept telling us that she was NOT dirty!!! She was adamant about it so we just went along with it to get the picture...and then handed her a wet wipe.

The movie was really cute, but the storyline was a bit over the kiddos heads. I think they just enjoyed the racing cars and didn't really care too much about the James Bond feel to the movie. And G's face was classic when the movie came up on the giant screen. Her jaw literally dropped and she just stared in awe and pointed at the screen. Too funny!!!
And 5 hours (yep. midnight.), a pizza & bag of popcorn, and 500 mosquito bites later...we brought home 2 tired, but very happy kiddos!
Hula-Hoop Practice
By 9 PM the waiting was getting a little rough
Ready for the show
How fun is this picture?!!
Someone at another screen was there in their old car
