I remember when our family went to see "The Parent Trap" at the drive-in. It was the most memorable movie that I can recall the whole thing. I loved the actress Haley Mills! Other times my brother and I would just fool around with our cousins, not really watching the movie. I really hated it when it rained, then we were stuck in the car and watching a boring western.

We didn't cause any trouble with the other people trying to watch the movie, but had fun going to the refreshment stand, or sitting on the bench that was placed closer to the movie screen. Then we tried to lip read and giggle at what we brought up. Those were the good ole days!

I remember once when the movie was so bad that my parents left without seeing the whole movie. That's when we would go out to eat, then go to the park until dark. We loved feeding the ducks our left-overs.
