Long before Netflix or Hulu, my family would take our station wagon from Waltham to Burlington to visit an outdoor movie theater on the Burlington/Woburn line. There was a HUGE screen, a concession building and a playground for little kids (slides, swings and teeter-totters). The first movie was usually a kid-friendly one, followed by something for the grown-ups.
In this old home movie from the late 1960s, my mother is holding the camera while my father pushes Robert and I. When it started to get dark, we would head over for some popcorn and get ready for the movie. Funny thing is, my brother and I always fell asleep for the night while watching the movie. That’s why we’re in pajamas!
