A couple Fridays ago they had a free movie night up at SFU.
Out door movies are cute and fun, but I srsly need to bring a couch with me next time. I am not a hippie. I can not handle sitting on grass for hours on end with nothing to lean on! I do still love the idea though, and would definitely do it again.
We headed up to the mountain with our Pizani – Juliana, Sonia, Darren, & fam. It had been ages since we’ve seen them. We set up camp, chatted away as we waited for the sun to go down, and then snuggled up to watch Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
It was lucky that we did end up getting together with our Italian Crew, because we chatted about Italy and Juliana and Sonia gave us the names of some great places to go to up North, since we are all from the same town (hence why I refer to them as my Pizani). It seems that every single Italian we know is going to Italy in the month of August. All of our Pizanis are going to be there and we are going to miss them all. Weird how that happens. I didn’t expect so many of them to be going this year, and I really didn’t expect them to all be there in August!
Aside from the Italy chit chat, the movie it’s self was so adorable! There were lots of families with young kids even though it was a late night movie outdoors. Such a great family event to do. Have a little picnic, then snuggle up under a blanket to watch a movie! My heart is melting!
The only down side to the whole thing (aside from it being somewhat uncomfortable) was that out of no where mosquitoes attacked us. The only part of my body that was exposed were my feet and I got eaten alive. I hate mosquitoes.
Since this was our first ever outdoor movie night, we obviously weren’t very prepared, so the only thing we brought was a blanket to sit on. Next time we go, I’m definitely going with a few extras.
- Lawn chairs – No more sore butt!
- Giant blanket to snuggle under – Even though it’s summer, it gets chilly at night.
- More layers – Mosquitoes are never attacking me again!
- Shoes – My toes froze.
- Snacks & Drinks – For obvious reasons.
The next movie night we have planned is at David Lam Park where Fresh Air Cinema is presenting Back to the Future on August 8th. This I am excited about!
