Ben's First Movie Experience

On Friday, August 8, 2008 (8-8-08), Ben had his first movie experience and turned 13 months! Apparently, he must of started a family tradition of going to the drive in for a first movie. His Mommy's first movie was at a drive in and saw E.T. Ben not only got to see his first movie, but it was also a double feature ($7.50 for each adult). The theater in Stephen's City played 'Hancock' and 'Get Smart'.

Ben was really good at the drive in. There was no fussiness for being up so late. I think he rather enjoyed having the whole back of the van all prepped with pillows and blankets to snuggle in. Lately he has been all about Daddy, so he spent much of the first movie snuggling and hugging Daddy. It was okay for Mommy to be around too as she provided milk, snacks and quiet toys for him to play with. Mid way through the first movie, Ben feel asleep next to his Daddy's arms. Then midway through the second movie, Mommy feel asleep next to Ben. Daddy was the only one that was a real trooper and stayed awake for the entire thing and then drove us all home.
