We are lucky enough to have a drive-in movie theater somewhat near us, though I will confess that we have never gone. The idea of getting ready, packing everyone into the car, and thinking about the inevitable tantrums from the youngest as they grow tired. Last weekend we were going to make a trek there with some friends, but when the friends got sick we decided to reschedule.
Then I came upon this site and I think that it sounds like even more fun than going to the drive-in. You rent a projector from Projector123 and using your own white sheet hanging from a clothesline you can make your own drive-in, or sit-in as the case may be.
I am thinking of renting one of these projectors and having a movie party at my house, BYOC (Bring Your Own Chair). We can light the firepit for roasting marshmallows and relax under the stars with our movie.
Everyone has summer barbeques, why not do something a little bit different!
I’ve seen several people do this in the past couple of years. You can invite a lot of people to bring their own lawn chairs and have quite a party. Projectors are coming down in price and occasionally a good sale will make them almost affordable!

Ooh, that does sound fun! We also actually live near a drive-in theater too, but it’s hard to find something our three-year-old will sit through.
