Summer is in full swing. School is out and moms are looking for fun things to do that won't break the bank. Here's something that you can do with your kiddos for 8 weeks!
One excellent feature that our movie theaters offer during the summertime is a weekly cheap movie. These vary by theater, but all are in the mornings and all are very reasonably priced. They are first-come, first-served so don't wait until 5 minutes before starting time and figure you'll always get in. We have actually hit a couple of times where they were full (daycare groups love these!). Most of the time they'll play the movie in multiple theaters, so if you're meeting people there, have a plan in place (we've frequently missed our friends and run into them out in the parking lot afterwards) The concession stands are always open for drink/popcorn/snack sales, and since you are getting such a great deal on your tickets, consider supporting them (believe me, we don't EVER do this except in the summer).
We've attended these for several summers and you can bet we'll hit a few this year as well. These are a great rainy or too-hot day activity, and a nice way to have a playdate with your kids' friends. Here's this year's run down....
