The One With The Yarmouth Drive In (delayed post)

 

 

Although this entry was posted later than usual, two nights ago (August 14) we went to the Yarmouth Drive In

 

 

The Drive In was located on the site of the original Drive In when I was a kid. Although I don’t remember seeing any movies at the Drive In, it was a local landmark for years.

 

 

Last night, we went to see a double feature consisting of JAWS and JAWS II. What a treat. The screens were fantastic with a brilliant LED appeal that puts Jaws in a whole new light, literally. It was a ton of fun…and there really wasn’t a bad seat in the house. We did realize that we should bring a small radio next time.

 

 

We ordered some snacks there to see what they were like….they were good.

 

 

It was a fun night. It was awesome to see Jaws down the Cape (like I had done years ago as a kid for the first time on its ten year anniversary). We did not stay too long for the second feature because the audio was off and the movie was lagging.

The One With The Drive In, The Class, the Natick Waterfall, and The New Cat



This was a busy week...we had a ton of things go on, but three in particular that stood out.

1. We went to our first drive in ever as a family. It was the Topsfield Fair Drive In, where we saw Empire Strikes Back. It was a little rustic and took a little getting used to because Emmie and I last went to a Drive In when we were young. It was a little buggy and we brought a portable radio and tuned to 93.1 on the FM dial...which worked well. We actually did enjoy it and got a chance to see all but two minutes of the movie (we left early because Kif had to go the bathroom).

2. We all were busy with classes this week. Kif's was probably the most fun because he designed a house. Emmie and I were busy with ones for school. Bri had a dance class.

3. We also got a new cat this week. Liza - now known as Zoey - an import from Georgia, joined out family. We originally wanted a he, but observed and learned of several that did not get along with other cats, which we figured would not be good for Sam, so we decided she was a good option. She was super friendly and she seemed to like the other cats in the common room. We briefly introduced her to Sam today - that was a bit tense, but went okay.

4. We also visited the Natick waterfall. We got lunch at Nick's Pizza - one of my favorite stops - and ate at the falls. I took some videos because their are some rumblings that the waterfall might be taken down. ZOINKS!
