Our new weekend activity

We're on a never-ending quest to find interesting, 'baby-friendly' things to do on the weekend...

A few weeks ago, we stumbled upon a drive-in movie theater about 45 minutes south of Iowa City... one of only three drive-ins left in the entire state! A lost piece of Americana, they are not only super fun... but they allow us see movies while taking Cole along with us! This particular drive-in is in the middle of a corn field (it is Iowa, after all) and when the stars come out it is actually quite beautiful. Cole loves going and usually falls asleep about half way through... letting us lay back, dive into some popcorn and soda, and finally enjoy the big screen once again.

The past two times we've gone it's been pretty toasty outside, though, still around 85 degrees at 9:00 at night (gotta love the summer). I joked with Mark about how much our lives have changed since Cole's arrived... gives a whole new meaning to "going to the drive-in on Friday night with a hot babe"!

Hi guys,

Really enjoyed the video of Cole having his first solid meal. Can not believe how fast he is grownig.

Also enjoyed the sound barrier sonic burp from daddy. It came accross loud and clear.

Hey Guys!

Looks like everything is going well. Since I haven't seen or talked to either of you in quite some time, I wanted to drop by and say hi and say, even though I'm still not a huge fan of children, you do have one cute baby!
