OTHER:
Jennifer Johnson shares a summer boredom buster idea. She writes, "I hope that with this article people everywhere in the U.S. might be able to find a theater close to them that offers free (older) movies in the summer. My children look forward to going and if I buckle down and say no to buying popcorn there, it is definitely a FREE event."
