Movie Night

By Leslie Rupiper

This past weekend, my cousin, Jane, held a Movie Night in her backyard.  It was such a neat deal. I was home in Nebraska for the weekend, so I was lucky enough to get to go.  She'd rigged up a movie screen by putting a large sheet on the side of her house.  With the help of a laptop computer and a projector, we were all treated to an outdoor showing "A Night At The Museum".  Several of her nephews, her niece and lots of other neighbor kids were all there anxiously waiting for it to get dark enough for the movie to start. They'd brought their lawn chairs, their blankets, and some were even in their pajamas.  For me, this was the best part of the night, just seeing the kids get so excited about an outdoor movie.

I kind of missed out on the whole drive-in movie theater phase growing up.  I did go to one when I lived out in Utah as an adult.  But I have to admit, even sitting in a lawnchair watching a movie on a summer night gave a whole new feel to the experience.  Jane said she decided to hold Movie Night as a final celebration for the kids before they headed back to school.  I think it's safe to assume they won't soon forget the late-night showing of the movie.  Even if they didn't catch every line in the film, their applause at the end was proof enough that Movie Night was a hit!
