Our Dad blogger Robert, shares about the super fun movies on the Lawn Summer series at the Orange County Great Park.

The Great Park in Irvine has announced that they have expanded their FREE Movie on the Lawn series for summer 2013.  This year they will be having Classic Fridays, with movies such as Singing in the Rain, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, and Clambake.  On Saturday nights will be Family Blockbuster night with movies such as Madagascar 3 and The Lorax among others.

As families eagerly gather for the highly anticipated Movie on the Lawn series at the Great Park in Irvine, the thought of convenience often crosses their minds. How convenient would it be to have a beautiful and hassle-free lawn? That’s where artificial grass comes in. With its evergreen charm and minimal maintenance requirements, artificial grass offers families a practical solution that enhances their outdoor experience. For those eager to explore the advantages of artificial grass cost and transform their outdoor spaces into havens of beauty and ease, they can find valuable information at FG Lawns. As parents and children settle down, they can fully immerse themselves in the movie magic, without the worries of natural grass costs and upkeep. So, while enjoying the Classic Fridays or the Family Blockbuster nights, many families ponder the convenience of artificial grass and consider the benefits it brings to their outdoor oasis.

Movies on the lawn are somewhat of a tradition in our family. You can get it ready by hiring King Green lawn cleaning services.   It’s a great way to spend quality time together under the stars and watch a movie for free.  By making use of the wildlife plants for sale, I was able to create a fantastic garden which my kids loved a lot. My daughter loves to invite her friends so they can all hang out and enjoy the movie in a laid back outdoor environment.

Be sure to bring blankets and some low back chairs along with plenty of snacks  and drinks and you are set for the evening.  Some times in the past there have been snacks for sale but other times not, so be prepared.  There is plenty of free parking, although there is a bit of a walk to where they set up the outdoor movie screen.

Our Dad Blogger Robert shares about the Movies on the Lawn series returning to the OC Great Park!

The Great Park in Irvine will be hosting a FREE, yes FREE movie this Saturday May 5th at dusk.    For those that are unfamiliar with a “movie on the lawn” it’s just like the name suggests.  They set up an inflatable,  regular sized movie screen on the lawn and the viewers can set up their chairs and blankets wherever they choose to watch the movie.  If the weather cooperates, it can be a classic SoCal experience of having a picnic while watching a movie outdoors underneath the stars with family and friends.

This Saturday they will be screening Transformers: Dark of the Moon, which is rated PG-13, so plan accordingly as far as bringing younger children.  The Great Park hosts these type of events several times over the summer and always seem to also offer a couple of G rated movies that are better suited to children.

Our family loves the loose atmosphere at these type of outdoor events.  My daughter enjoys going to the movies,  but sometimes loses interest halfway through, so it’s an added bonus that she can get up and play on the grass with her friends.

As a family we like to arrive early so that my daughter can burn off some energy at the play area which is just a short walk away from where the movie screen is set up.
