Movie Set Up

We used a Portable pocket projector and Tailgater speaker.   We connected these to our I-Pad Pro where we had downloaded Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.  

Fan Items

There is definitely some fun merchandise that goes with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.    We currently are in love with these Geeki Tikis Mugs.  They are so cool and just as fun for us adults to use as they are for the kids! We have also been playing with the Guardians of the Galaxy Dancing Groot RC. We love that it dancing to whatever music is near it!

Movie Time

Now, you can use your projector pretty much anywhere.  We have used it on white privacy fence, in a garage on a white sheet, and for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, we used a garage door.  

How do you enjoy movie night in your backyard?  Do you have big parties like us or just your family?  Do you make fun snacks?
