Baseball and Bowling Boredom Busters!

Baseball and Bowling Boredom Busters!! Say that 3 times fast!

I plan to keep today's list pretty short-my niece is coming over to play :)

Baseball is a great way to celebrate summer! We have especially spent a lot of time on the t-ball field this spring but on our summer to do list is to go to a "big" baseball game! In our area we have a few different options I thought I would share.

The Lexington Legends is our nearby Minor League Baseball Team There are so many great promotions and deals. Simply check the website for ticket availability and prices- games often include fireworks nights, Faith and Family night and more! Kids eat free Mondays, there are Thirsty Thursdays, Kids Club nights, and hot dogs for 35cents on Tuesdays. So much to enjoy. Keep an eye out on your summer reading library packet because on ours, it notes that if you finish your reading logs by July 20th, you get free tickets for the game on August 10th (Reader Appreciation Day).

In May, they celebrated school being out by having kids bring in their report cards -and the could receive a box seat for free at selected games! Something to remember for next year...

We are also located near Cincinnati-home of the Cincinnati Reds!It has been so long since I've gone to a Reds game, but I have good memories of doing so :) They also offer great promotions and events like, fireworks, zoo nights and family days. If you're nearby check it out (or check out your local team).

If you're in or near a college town, this may be another great option to see a baseball game! For example, you can attend a University of Kentucky baseball game in Lexington for $5 - General Admission - Adults (18+) $2 - General Admission - Youth / Seniors (65+)
**Children ages 5 & under are admitted free

If you need to get out of the heat on a hot summer day, let me encourage you to go bowling! Check out Collins Bowling Lanes (or your local lanes) for the summer kids program. Click on Collins Kids Club and get your coupons weekly for free bowling.

The website says, "Children under the age of 12 are eligible to register for 2 free games a day, all summer long (May 25 to August 15), courtesy of Collins Bowling Centers along with the schools and organizations"

Today, on Groupon, the featured deal for Lexington is a group outing (up to 6ppl) that includes one hour of bowling, shoe rental and a pitcher of Pepsi for $19. I bought mine! My kids love to bowl!

Hope these ideas help to bust boredom at your house! Have a Happy Friday!
