"I don't have the time or the money to go to the movies"

How often do you say " I can't afford the movies?"

Have no fear......MOVIES IN THE PARK IS HERE!!!!!!

This has to be one of my most favorite things to do with husband and my son. Every Summer in Portland ,and surrounding areas, there are FREE movies in the park. I think one of best things about having the movies in the park is the fact that there is a variety between kid and adult movies and they play on different days. If you would like to know more information about the movies and where they are located please check out this site: http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/index.cfm?c=52643

On the website it will tell which park, which movie and when it will start. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!! haha!

Another Good Resource!

If you are looking for free things to do with a friend, significant other or children then go to the differe t Portland and surrounding area CITY websites and look for "Picnic in the Park." These are awesome to attend! They usually have free food, fire trucks, music, sometimes dancing, movies, games and different booths set up to receive free information about the fire department, police and city service and a WHOLE LOT MORE!!!

 

My son, husband and I are headed to the "Flicks by the Fountain" in Beaverton next to the library tonight to watch "UP!"

Have a great day filled with fun!
