We all know what you’re supposed to do in summer – get as close as you can to water, soak up some rays, and get out and play. But, what are you supposed to do when the kids are out of school and Mother Nature sends rain and wind instead of sun and heat? This is how much of our early summer went, and after 4 days of straight rain, I had exhausted every single indoor activity I could dream up and was looking for anything at all to amuse us all day long.
If only our S-O-S kit from Redbox and Phase 4 Films had arrived a few weeks earlier, we wouldn’t have minded the rain a bit. We would have stayed busy all day long, and even had some great movies to enjoy once the sun went down as part of the Summer Family Fun with Redbox.
The Redbox Summer Family Fun program features eight family-friendly DVDs from Phase 4 Films that are available this summer at Redbox locations nationwide. I Heart Shakey, Rockstars, Space Dogs, Smitty, Kiara, My Friend Bernard, Freddy Frogface and Donkey X are the perfect way to pass those wet and rainy evenings that call for snuggles.
So, when our Rainy Day S-O-S kit arrived, we were actually looking forward to an evening spent together on the sofa just so we could try out everything. With everything we needed for some serious family fun, including movies, popcorn, snacks, a blanket, a page full of rainy day activities and a deck of cards, we were all set for whatever Mother Nature threw our way and were quite thrilled when we were sent a midsummer storm that brought us all indoors.
From word play to making our own homemade crafting dough, the kit kept us busy all day long and then provided hours of entertainment throughout the evening as we watched some films together - in our perfectly crafted fort, of course. Popcorn and treats were the fitting end to our rainy day, and the kiddos were in heaven snuggling up and snacking with brand-new movies.
But, in addition to 8 new movies from Phase 4 Films to keep the kiddos content all summer, Redbox is also going to make 3 grand prize winners very happy when they award their movie-inspired family vacations valued at $10,000 - $15,000. That got your attention, didn't it?
Thank goodness entering the contest couldn’t be easier: just by selecting one of the Summer Family Fun movies at Redbox locations and entering an email address at checkout, you are automatically entered into the sweepstakes. Of course, you can also enter without renting a DVD by visiting RedboxSummerFamilyFun.com, but then you miss out on the movie… your call.
The two prizes still up for grabs are as follows:
• 4 day West Coast Princess Mexico Cruise for four with round trip airfare {enter July 9 - July 29}
• 7 day vacation for four to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida {enter July 30 - August 26}
I'll take either one of these, please.
You can find the 8 new Phase 4 Films at Redbox rental locations, Target, Walmart or on Amazon.com. Be sure to visit RedboxSummerFamilyFun.com for more info on the movies as well as how to enter to win these fabulous prizes.
