I modelled it on my fond memory of an activity I attended when I was younger...it's one that still circulates in Mormon circles (I observe online). And why not? It's a sure winner!
Boxes + Movie + Children = Winner.
My take on the winning activity idea...
I remember carefully designing my box car and lining it up next to my best friend in the gymnasium. I also remember eating popcorn in my own little box. I really dug having my own private space to view the movie...the movie I now don't remember at all.I was thrilled to see how into it the kids of today were ("of today", as though I'm ancient, muahaha). Nice too, to learn they had made a real family activity of it.
I was wowed by witty license plates, limousines (made for two children), duvets and pillows serving as inner cushions, spinning steering wheels, and careful paintwork.
One little lady even baked and sold cookies to earn her "own money" to purchase a little horn for her box car (and her little sister's!).
Bless their dear little hearts.
P.S. I know some people don't like the Liken DVDs. I'm not "some people". I love them in all their corny goodness.

I remember my primary drive in movie - it was Honey, I shrunk the kids haha I even remember crying when the ant died... all within the comforts of my cardboard car!
Tessy - was your primary drive-in movie the one and the same I recall? I'm thinkin' it was. I'm thinkin' my mom organised it in Howick ward. I'm thinking I parked next to you.
I'm thinking you are right and I'm also thinking this justifies a letter of thanks being sent to your mother for organising that activity - using my personalised family letterhead (see comment on "Stationery-Lovers' Crack").
