Free and Discounted Kids’ Movies in Fairfield County, CT
Most summers, my kids have very few organized activities on their schedules. They each pick one session of camp, and other than that, they focus on making an unholy mess out of our playroom and catching frogs in our stream. Occasionally a frog gets welcomed into the playroom, but that’s for another post…
But alas, this is not most summers, as we are moving! And in an effort to keep my three little banshees occupied, out of the house, and away from the moving mayhem, I’ve been somewhat maniacally investigating ways to keep them occupied. Amongst the coolest activities that I’ve found are the many movies events offered in Fairfield County. Most are free (always music to my ears) and some are even outdoors – very cool!
