Life on Cedar Ridge

For supper, we attempted to roast hot dogs over the fire. It was a little warm for the kids. I don't think they enjoyed it as much we or they thought they would, but it was an experience. It was a little windy, so we headed inside to eat our supper, instead of the planned picnic in the backyard.





Brent and I had been planning a surprise for the kids all week. We could hardly keep it to ourselves any longer. We got the kids ready for bed and sat them down on the couch. We told them we weren't going to bed, because we were going to pile into the car and go watch a movie. They were so excited, but I don't think they knew what was really happening.

We got in the car and headed to the drive in! We all had so much fun. Brent and I joked that we don't usually go see a movie that starts at 9:20pm, let alone with the kids, but it was worth it. We sat in the back of our van and ate popcorn and other snacks and watched the new Ice Age and part of Up, until 12:15am! Yup, all three kids were awake. Although, once we started the drive home, they were pretty much instantly asleep.
