What if this is all it's about?

Fun stuff in the summer (if it ever gets here)


So I've all ready sniveled about our horrible weather here in Washington. We are now calling this Junuary instead of June. The high today was 55 and we had snow in the mountains. In some places the ski areas are still open. But all of this has given me some time to find stuff to do if and when it ever gets nice outside. I've compiles a list, short but sweet. Here ya' go:

Go see a FREE movie at a Regal movie theater with the kiddos. Most of the other Regal theaters in other states are doing it too - not just Washington.

AMC theaters are having $1 movies on Wednesday in most places.

If you live in Washington here are some more ideas:

Check out the Childrens Museum of Tacoma for free the 1st Friday of every month and on Thursdays in the summer.

The community center in Federal Way has a huge pool with water slides and a lazy river. And it's only $7 to get in! (bite me Wild Waves!)

There is the Henry Moses swimming pool, with water slides, in Renton. It's the one right off of I-405. Beware, the lines are long and on hot days it fills up quickly. Send a grown up to stand in line and have someone come with all the kiddos right as they open. $4-$14

Summer Lunch Programs, in case you need it:
Kids, ages 18 and younger, can have a free meal while school is out with the Sumner Summer Lunch program, this year at two locations. No applications required. June 25 - August 22 (closed Friday, July 4) 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday - Friday
  • Daffodil Valley Elementary Cafeteria
  • 1509 Valley Ave. in Sumner
  • Liberty Ridge Elementary Cafeteria
    12202 209th Ave. Ct. E. in Bonney Lake
The Seattle School district has a similar program available at many schools, click the link to check it out.

The Tacoma Tribune put out a list of 75 Adventures to try, some of them sound kind of fun. Not all free but fun!

Free concerts on Lake Tapps, local bands, Saturdays July - August
