The Alamo Drafthouse Village has partnered with Body Business, to offer a fun way for parents to enjoy an afternoon movie. Every third Saturday, from 2:30-6:30pm, parents can drop their kids off at the childcare facility at
Body Business, located in The Village shopping center, and catch a matinee. Childcare vouchers are available online for $10 (Body Business members pay only $3 per child) and are good for one child each (ages 7 and under). Voucher sales end the Friday before the event and movie tickets are purchased separately. Just remember to arrive in time to pick up your movie tickets, child care vouchers, and drop off the kids. Also, pack a snack or meal, food is not provided for kids. The next "Parents' Afternoon Out" is Saturday, June 21st. Now the only dilemma is deciding on whether you are both going to see
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull or
Baby Mama. Alamo Drafthouse Village is located at 2700 W. Anderson Lane.

DOT-COM OF THE WEEK
BSA’s dot-com of the week: www.safetytat.com
Designed by a Mom of three kids,
SafetyTat is a fun and colorful kids temporary safety tattoo that’s uniquely personalized with your cell phone number. When applied to the arm of your child, SafetyTat provides an immediate, highly visible form of identification that stays in place even when wet, and lasts for days. Especially great for families with several small children, the tatoo temporarily and safely shows a contact number to call if a child is ever seperated from his parents. It is an extra measure of security when heading out to water parks, amusement parks, field trips, festivals, or shopping malls. Parents can pick from several fun and creative styles($20 for 30 tatoos).
