Arbor Annie’s Weekend Picks April 13-15
Spring is finally here with warmer temperatures – although the weekend will feature April Showers.
Arbor Annie’s Weekend Event Picks
I’m going to be taking advantage of the rainy weekend (100% chance of rain) to do our taxes…and take advantage of the extension to April 17 this year.
Unfortunately the weekend’s biggest event, the Michigan Spring Game was a victim of the weather. On Wednesday they announced a cancellation.
The weekend starts off with great weather on Friday. That makes it a great day to head to a playground. Check out our Playground Profiles to find a new to you playground:
Performances are a great way to spend time indoors. Skyline High School is performing Shrek starting on Saturday (with additional performances Sunday and next weekend). Sunday is Wild Swan Theater’s annual fundraiser – An Afternoon of Ann Arbor’s Best.

Movies
New this weekend is Rampage, based on the video game. Also new this week is the animated Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero. I have to admit, Sgt. Stubby has slid under the radar, so I don’t know anything about it.
We’re considering seeing Ready Player One – if the show times fit in our schedule.
Two weeks ago we saw A Wrinkle in Time. We did enjoy the movie. While I loved the book as a kid, I honestly don’t remember any of it 30 years later. My one complaint was that the movie seemed to spend a lot of time building the story and then reached the resolution fairly quickly.
Black Panther continues with a strong showing at the Box Office. Have you checked out our Black Panther Review with Parental Guidance?
Other movies in theaters include Pacific Rim Uprising, Sherlock Gnomes, Love, Simon, and I Can Only Imagine.
Free Weekend Movies
Quality 16’s Free Spring Matinees only has two weeks left. This week is Wonder and next week is The Emoji Movie.
