Summer is winding down! As I headed up to work on the newsletter last night, I commented to my husband that there are just 2 more Sunday night newsletters for summer.
Arbor Annie’s Weekday Picks
After cancelling due to potential rain last Tuesday, Pittsfield’s National Night Out Celebration at Lillie Park is trying again this week.
Both Emagine and Cinemark wrap up their summer movie series this week. Cinemark is showing Despicable Me 3 on Tuesday. Emagine’s movie is An American Tail on Wednesday & Thursday.
Personally, we’re still in recovery mode after a 10 day road trip vacation visiting family – extended by a day after a flat tire as we headed for home. After arriving home Saturday afternoon, we had a busy weekend getting caught up at home. So, this week will be catching up on the website – and hopefully experiencing some of the fun events on the calendar.

Check out our places to get wet. We went kayaking before our trip, but I really want to head to the Cascades and go tubing. And my husband has Rolling Hills high on his list.
It’s also a great week to find a new playground to explore. Check out our weekly Playground Profile series.
Find more fun ideas for this week in our Wednesday Activity Reviews.

Movies
The summer matinee series at local theaters wrap up this week. Cinemark plays Despicable Me 3 on Tuesday. Emagine has An American Tail on Wednesday and Thursday. Quality 16’s series ended up a couple weeks ago.
Dora and the Lost City of Gold opened on Friday. Scary Stories To Tell in the Darkalso opened on Friday. It’s rated PG-13, but based on a series of boos for kids in grades 3-7.
The Lion King opened a couple weekends ago to mixed reviews. We didn’t see it, but I’m in the I’m not sure it needed to be made camp. If you saw it, let us know what you thought.
Spider-Man Far From Home opened last month and is a great choice. We’re actually looking forward to an Avengers Endgame movie night since it comes out on BluRay this week.
Toy Story 4 is still going strong. Be sure to check our review and make plans to see it yourself.
