It may be hard to believe, but summer is almost over. With the back to school rush comes a desire to fill what remains of summer with a few more fabulous outings and adventures – preferably ones that will lower your temperature during the dog days of summer. Here are the best ways to keep cool until it’s time to head back to school.

Enjoy a show before the show at the movies

Sit back, relax and enjoy the “preshow entertainment” in addition to the movie at the El Capitan Theatre. This summer the flick is “Planes 2: Fire & Rescue”. (If you've got a little one, take them to Tiny Tot Tuesday. At the first showing of the day, the lights are dim and the sound is reduced making it an ideal setting for toddler moviegoers – and parents who want to relax in an air conditional theater.)
