What to Bring to Movie Nights

Whether you'll be lounging on the lawn for a movie in the park, or "tailgating" at a drive-in theater, there's one thing I highly recommend you take with you:

Bug Spray/Wipes

There's about an hour between dusk and full-on darkness when the "no see 'ems" (tiny little bitey gnats) come out in search of sweet-tasting humans. 

The best thing I've found to repel them is ... Repel.
    

See Price & Availability
at Amazon.com

It really does the trick to keep the little devils away!

Repel comes in a spray bottle and in wipes. I prefer the wipes because they're easy to carry, and one wipe each keeps my hubby and me bite-free for the entire evening.
 
We just swipe a wipe across our clothes and exposed skin, and we're all set!

Now that we have the itchy-bug situation under control, there's one more thing I always pack for our outdoor movie nights:

Easy Tote Picnic Blanket

See Prices & Availability
at Amazon.com

The first time my hubby and I went to a movie at the beach, I packed a gigantic beach towel for us to sit on.

Silly me! When my butt started feeling damp and clammy, it dawned on me: towels absorb water. ;-)

Since that unfortunate incident, I always take a water-resistant beach/picnic blanket to lounge on. You should, too!

Enjoy the flick!!
