With the new Barbie movie out, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, we decided that the best way to show our appreciation was to have the selected dinner theme. This is the second best option to watching the movie because, as it turns out, the local movie theatre is under construction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3513-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7659\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3513-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/?attachment_id=7659\" class=\"wp-image-7659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3513-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3513-480x640.jpg 480w, https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3513-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3513-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3513-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3513-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3520-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"7660\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3520-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/?attachment_id=7660\" class=\"wp-image-7660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3520-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3520-480x640.jpg 480w, https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3520-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3520-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3520-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_3520-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">What can I say, the squad knows how to work the camera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of project time was put to good use today.
