Happy Tuesday!

If you are thinking to yourself that you should've signed your kids up for more camps then remember you can see what's available on our Aha! Camp Guide.   I'm signing up my youngest for Dunwoody Speed as soon as I can figure out my calendar! 

I spent some time this morning investigating Summer Movies...cheap, free, and new blockbusters!  Here's a quick link to see all my research on the website but I'm including most of it below in this email as well.

Please remember to send me more "adult" book recommendations!  I'll be compiling the list for you all this week so its not too late to tell me what you are reading!  I'll also send out an updated post on summer reading and math packets for local schools.

Oh...and Leigh surprised me and didn't tell me that she was putting Kenny Chesney (one of my all time faves) up on the Aha! website this week.   He looks good there don't you think?  I need to buy a duck this week so I can win a chance to see him this summer!

Atlanta Dog Trainer and Pet Resort

Atlanta Dog Trainer Banner Size Ad

Atlanta Dog Trainer and Pet Resort is very different!  We are experienced and first aid certified dog trainers, veterinary techs, and kennel techs that can read dog signals and make sure your dogs are outside playing rather than inside stuck in a crate all day.  No seasonally hired young kids running this place!  

 

Our fully monitored play yards (6 of them!) are grass, not concrete or plastic like most other places in town.  We can also train and groom your furry friend while they stay with us having them looking clean, trimmed, and shiny when you pick them up.  And our "no surprise" pricing is all inclusive without nickel and diming you for feedings, potty breaks, play times, or medicine administration.  Rushing to leave town?

Must See Movies for June!

JUNE "Must See" MOVIES from Common Sense Media


The Internship (June 7)
Target Age: Teens
Buzz Factor: There's no denying the comedic chemistry between Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, who reteam here for their first buddy comedy since the hugely successful Wedding Crashers. This time around, the sarcastic pals play recently downsized salesmen who score much-coveted spots in Google's internship program, where they bring their old school humor to the world of twentysomething tech geeks. Somehow the pair's innuendos and partying got pared down to a PG-13 rating, but expect the content to straddle the line between PG-13 and R.
The Internship: In Theaters June 7

Man of Steel (June 14)
Target Age: Older Tweens and Teens
Buzz Factor: Any reboot of this pillar of the American comic book canon is going to get the fanboys excited. With Zack Snyder (300) directing and Christopher Nolan (the Dark Knight trilogy) producing, hopes are high that this latest version of the Superman origin story will relaunch a durable franchise. British import Henry Cavill anchors this version of the Man of Steel story, mentored by Krypton father Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and earth father Jonathan (Kevin Costner). It promises to be darker and moodier than previous incarnations.

Monsters University (June 21)
Target Age: Young Kids
Buzz Factor: Monsters, Inc. was one of Pixar's early fan favorites, so we expect everyone - even teens who pretend they're too old for animated movies - to line up to see one-eyed Mike Wazowski (again voiced by Billy Crystal) and larger than life Sulley (John Goodman) as college "frenemies" before they became best buddies. The campus pranks and dorm-room jokes should appeal to everyone, from parents to preschoolers.

World War Z (June 21)
Target Age: Teens
Buzz Factor: Who will survive the zombie apocalypse? If the trailer for this adaptation of Max Brooks' book is any indication, almost no one but Brad Pitt and his family. Pitt stars as a United Nations employee who's tasked with searching the world for a way to stop the inexplicable outbreak that's turning people into the bloodthirsty undead. Although it's rated PG-13, the unrelenting violence of this post-apocalyptic thriller is likely best suited for mature teens and adults.

White House Down (June 28)
Target Age: Teens
Buzz Factor: This might seem like a retread of this spring's R-rated bullet-fest Olympus Has Fallen, but star Channing Tatum gives this Washington, D.C.-set action-thriller a (hopefully) somewhat less graphically violent spin. Jamie Foxx plays the besieged president, and director Roland Emmerich, master of the disaster film (Independence Day, 2012) promises some spectacular explosions.
