Welcome Back~

We have reached the Finale of Mid-Summer Nights series! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did creating it. Let’s end by going to the drive-in movies…


“Drive-in movies”

For our Mid-Summer Nights Series Finale, we are remembering the days of the Drive-In Movie theater! We used to pile up in my uncle’s beach-wagon car and all go to the drive-in for like $6.00 a carload! It was so much fun.

There are only a few drive-ins left in Rhode Island so be sure to check them out while they last.

Drive-in DIY

If you don’t have a drive-in where you live or don’t want to go to the one near you for various reasons, create your own drive-in theater in your own backyard like the one in the header photo. Be sure to have all the drive-in snacks and drinks as well. How fun would that be?

There’s always INSIDE as well! Make the best of Movie night IN! Opportunities are endless.

Movie- IN! How adorable is this?

Drive-In (Movie-In) Food DIY

Popcorn

Get one of those stand-up popcorn machines on wheels! Put a side table out with a small microwave on it and a bowl filled with packets of popcorn and let everyone pop their own bag.

Pizza

Buy frozen pizzas and bake and serve or order a few large pizzas from your favorite pizza parlor nearby. Let everyone serve themselves, as well as you. This way you are a “guest” at your own party too.

Burger & Fries

You probably have a grill in the yard, just keep it lit all night for food and for ambiance and roasting marshmallows. Buy a box of frozen burgers, keep them in a cooler next to the grill. Serve chips instead of fries.

Smoothies/ Shakes

Set up a blender next to the microwave with a small cooler of frozen fruit and ice cream. Let everyone blend their own concoction. Have handy almond milk, seltzers, cool whip and disposable containers.


Summer Quick Bites

Before the big show!



At The Movies

I HAVE to open my summer season with watching JAWS (my all-time favorite movie) and I also have to end the season watching it so, I make a whole “watch party” out of it. It sets the tone for my summer season. I hope you have a good movie night in the near future.
