New Portland Find
A movie with babysitting? Thanks to Ann for sending us this tidbit:
My husband and I just checked out a new theater in our neighborhood http://www.academytheaterpdx.com/. It is a 3 dollar theater with Flying Pie pizza (best pizza in town if you like lots of meat) and will be serving beer soon. What makes this theater so great is that they have babysitting. I checked out the baby space and it's nice. We went to a 5 pm movie and the babysitting area was full, so make sure you call to make a reservation for your child. Happy date night without scrambling to find a babysitter!
Babysitting at the theater? How novel! Cost is $5 per child for the first two children, $3 for each additional sibling. Sitting is available Wednesday through Saturday, from 4pm to 7pm, and for children ages six months to seven years. NO drop-ins! So be sure to reserve: (503) 252-1705 or email beforehand. Movies actually seem to be a great selection of recent Oscar nominees.
WOW! What a lead! Thanks!

Our family checked out the academy theater this past Saturday. I took my 2 year old and 6 month old along with our neighbor's 2 three year olds. The kids had a good time and we adults loved getting out for a movie. The child care people were very friendly and even greeted us when we walked into the theater to guide the way. We are looking forward to going back.
