Movies Under the Stars

-

It’s June and already hot outside.  I hate the heat but there is something unique about sitting outside under the stars and watching a movie with friends or family.  It’s relaxing, enjoyable and when the sun finally sets the heat can be tolerable – just bring water.  You don’t have to sneak in snacks or pizza or better popcorn like you do at an indoor theater, or freeze to death because they crank up the AC and you end up wanting to wear a parka and boots.
 

There are plenty of choices around the Kansas City area in June, July and August to go watch movies outside.  The closest one to me is the Moonlight Movies on the Independence Square in Independence.  These are family friendly films shown every Thursday night at 9pm in the theater parking lot and it is free.  Yay! 

The one outdoor option I’m real interested in this year is at Crown Center called the Weekender.  They run every Friday night at 9pm in July and the first Friday in August for free.  Note, though, you need to get there early as they open at 6pm because there will be a live band playing before each movie starts.  It’s the movie selection I’m drawn towards, though.  “The Goonies” is playing July 8th, “Clueless” on the 15th, “The Avengers” on the 22nd and so on.  Goonies, cool chicks and super heroes – can’t beat that. 

Briarcliff Village in Kansas City is another option to watch outdoor movies.  Films are shown at Mulberry Lake across from the Village at Briarcliff every Saturday night in June and July around 8:45pm for free.  Grease will be their next feature this Saturday, June 18th.  If you’re not a fan of musicals, go July 9th to see the last “Hunger Games” movie or bring your kids July 23rd to watch “Frozen”.  
Of course, you can choose to watch first run films at any drive-in theater.  They feature two movies for one price.  The I-70 drive-in and the Twin drive-in theaters are open all summer long. 
Now don’t forget to bring bug spray along with your blankets and lawn chairs as you sit out under the stars and enjoy watching movies this summer.

Self Health September | Spin Class

So these next five days seemed harder than I thought they would be. I started having less time to make a full breakfast so I started the smoothie era. Tried cooking my own spaghetti, which didn't turn out the way I would have hoped. Saw a little moment of me editing and putting up the first of Self Health September videos and blog post. Still working out at home either in the morning or after work, which I was working towards doing different workouts.

Solar Eclipse Path of Totality 2017

Last Monday I got to witness being in the Path of Totality Solar Eclipse. This might be the only one I will see in my lifetime and some people go their whole life never seeing one, so I felt very lucky and wanted to share it with the rest of the world. Not the best shot of it but it is my experience. I sadly had to work this day, so I was not able to go to one of the many Solar Eclipse Events happening around town. Being in Kansas City made it a little bit harder to see it in its full beauty. So amazed by the amount of people who stop everything they were doing to watch this Eclipse.

Fall Chick Event

Fall is finally here and that means apple cider, camp fires, pumpkins, and festivals. This past month we went to one of our favorites, the Chick Event . This year it took place at Johnson Farms in Belton, Missouri; they are also a pumpkin and garden center. Chick Event is a pop-up market of vintage and handmade items based out of our neighboring state, Leawood, Kansas. They do many events throughout the year throughout Kansas and Missouri. We like going to their events to get great deals from local artists and not only that but you also support local artists.
