Summer Time Fun

I sent out an email to some of my friends and I wanted to post it here as well. We're always hurting for ideas to get out of the house in the summer time when it's too hot to even breathe out side. Here are two ideas that might work for you:


1. OK, for those of you who don't know about this, it's awesome. We did it last summer and my boys loved it and looked forward to it every week. Every summer, Harkins Theaters have a promo called Summer Movie Fun. You can pay $7.00 (per person), pick a day of the week, and get to watch 10 movies (1 a week) that have come out over the past year or two. So, you get to get out of the heat and house and take your kids to the theaters every week for less than a dollar per movie. The movies all start at 9:45 a.m. and they have kids pack concessions if you want to purchase them for $4.00 each. All you have to do is go to the theater and purchase tickets for every seat you intend to use. The down side is you have to get there early. It's on a first come first serve basis and they sell out FAST; so you'll have to get their early to get in line. I'm going to try to get tickets on Friday's for the Superstition Springs location, so hopefully I'll see some of you there!

Here is the link if you have any questions and if that doesn't work, try this one.




2. We are getting a family pass to a local junior high school swimming pool. Most of you probably have family or friends with swimming pools, or even have one of your own. However, it's such a good way to get the kids out of the house and into a new environment. Some of the newer Jr. High School Pools are really nice with water slides and play areas just for little kids. They can be expensive, but here's my tip: if you go to the pool over Memorial Day weekend to buy the pass, they give you a 1/2 off discount, only $95. Here is the link to the City of Mesa pools.
