In August 2012, my sister decided that she was going to host a "Drive-In" for all of my nieces and nephews to watch Cars in her backyard. The movie would be put up on a projector screen, candy and popcorn would be served and the kids would sit in their very own homemade cardboard cars.
Creating and painting the cardboard cars was the first step. All my nieces and nephews came over to my parents house one afternoon for the project and I had the opportunity to help my little nephew Luke make one that resembled Lightning Mcqueen (well, we tried).
That next weekend we headed over to the movie event of the summer at my sister's house where everyone got to enjoy Cars and the snacks as planned! Everyone's cars turned out great- super cute!
Something like this takes some time and planning, but I can't recommend it enough for a classic summer night activity! If you have a family (or neighborhood) with a bunch of kids, this is sure to be a hit. All my nieces and nephews loved it- heck, so did the adults! It was really fun; great memories.
If you're looking to do this as well, there are plenty of family blogs on the web to help out with tips on creating the cars and setting up.
