In the summer, we've seen all kinds of combinations of swimming and movies. We've had big blow up screens in the middle of a lake, and we've seen projection screens on fences in front of the pool. But I've never seen a pool at the drive-in movie theater, especially in the back of a truck bed.

7 Oklahoma Drive-In Theaters You Have to Experience

Tee Pee Drive-In in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, recently posted on its Facebook page some Oklahoma ingenuity to beat the heat. They've seen it all when it comes to getting comfortable for a movie at the drive-in theater. They've had air mattresses, reclining lawn chairs, a full set of patio and now a truck pool!

How cool is that! It looks like they took a big tarp, secured it to the truck bed and started filling it up with water. I love that they brought a beach ball! I'd definitely be in there with my floaty from my pool. We've got plenty more hot days ahead of us this summer, so I'm looking forward to seeing more Oklahoma ingenuity to keep cool and have fun.
