Admiral Twin Drive In

 

Just for fun while in Tulsa to visit my mom our family headed to the Admiral Twin Drive. 

.

The Admiral Twin Drive In, built in 1951, is one of the few drive-in theaters remaining in Oklahoma.  It is located on Route 66 it is Oklahoma’s largest drive in with a capacity of over 1,000 cars.

.

The iconic drive-in theater was destroyed by a fire, in 2010, but the owners re-built and reopened in June of 2012.  After the fire the community rallied around the historic drive in and all of the sudden this drive in was cool again. 

.

I have great memories of attending movies as a kid at this drive in and even trying to sneak a peak at the screen every time we drove past on the highway.  When Frankie was little we would take her, our nephew, and her dog, Clifford to this drive in.  Abigail had never been to a drive in and loved every minute of it.  It was great to share this experience with my mom. 

.

My mom hadn’t been to the drive in since they rebuilt after the fire and was very excited to see all the nice improvements.  The old speaker boxes have been removed and now you tune your radio into the proper station for your movie. 

.

Tonight we saw a double feature of Turbo and Despicable Me 2, both were fun.  Everyone but Frankie stayed awake through both showings.  Frankie climbed up in the back of the van with her blanket and went to sleep early into the Despicable Me 2.

Children are a heritage from the Lord,
    offspring a reward from him.
 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior

are children born in one’s youth.
Psalm 127:3-4
