after saying farewell to Chris and Katie i headed back to Charlottesville where some folks had planned to come over for cornhole and our first attempt at grilling. my parents had a charcoal grill in their basement that wasn't being used (it was my oldest brother's back in the day) so i grabbed that and headed back home. with some help from those more experienced we got the grill going and it was a great afternoon. the evening was beautiful and we wanted to stay outside, so we had the idea of trying to watch a movie outside on the back of our house. we were able to get a projector (thanks dad!) and speakers (thanks Amber!) and rigged up a pretty excellent screen! we watched Maverick and it was like our own screen on the green!here's karen modeling our screen (we tied the top with ropes through the top of the windows and the bottom to the water spout/deck)
as it got darker we set up all the equipment
the final product (not a great picture but you get the idea)
we definitely want to do it again sometime!

What a cool idea!! Did you use a sheet, or was that an actual screen? I'm super impressed!
i looove that!! :) there are some great drive-ins still running in NY we're going to try to get to, and Maggie and I were just talking about the Rosslyn movie nights too....there's something so magical about that "screen on the green" concept!! :) props!
i'm very impressed with your screen! love the new apron :)
we just used a white sheet and tied it up!
in the words of our eloquent school president, "all i can say is - wow." Haha, but seriously, that is awesome!!! very crafty and creative of you. love it!
outdoor movies might be my FAVORITE thing to do in the summer. and that is saying something! This looks fantastic! What a great day :) And summer has just begun...
