We are known for doing some fun stuff here at the Hive, but our latest event - Aerohive's first "Family Movie Night" - ranks as downright adorable.
Earlier this month, parents and their "Lil BEEs" gathered at Aerohive HQ in Sunnyvale to enjoy a night of 
movie-watching and treats. To say our movie party was well received is an understatement, when you consider we only gave a week's notice and life is, well, busy!
But we got 50 takers, all of whom had a ball.
Here's how we roll on Family Movie Night:
- We watched two movies: “How to Train Your Dragon” and “Goonies” ... shown on multiple screens. Very professional!
- HerBEE the giant BEE made a surprise appearance.
- We ate pizza and salad.
- A popcorn machine cranked out popcorn non-stop.
- Everyone received “BEE bucks” when they entered the room to buy candy for the movie (Milk Duds, M&M's, Mike and Ike ... all the old-time favorites.)
- Chairs were set up, but several kiddos simply settled in on blankets, sleeping bags, and bean bags on the floor.
It was loads of fun for the kids ... grown ups too! Here's what some pint-sized attendees had to say:
"I liked it because I got to sit on the giant bean bags. I liked it because that movie is my favorite ("How to Train Your Dragon.") I loved the popcorn! " - Aaliyah, 8 years.
"They had fresh popcorn and I liked that they had two screens! I liked it a lot because there was pizza and sodas." - Zander, 6 years.
"Can I come to your office everyday…… it was super fun - The Goonies movie, candy, popcorn and I got my own movie ticket!!! It was really fun." - Annika, 5 1/2 years.
"We laughed a lot and my li'l one enjoyed herself and absolutely enjoyed the food.” - Water cooler conversation relaying how much one 8-year-old daughter enjoyed Family Movie Night.
One child asked if we could do this again next week. Well, maybe not next week because other fun events are being planned, but we will do Family Movie Night again for sure.
