Get ready for some free Summer fun thanks to Nintendo! If your kids are anything like mine then video games mean the world to them. My oldest is a huge fan of video games no matter if its on a console, tablet, cell phone or at an arcade. The baby of the family loves to play games too and I believe it’s because big bro does it and he loves the bright lights too.
Since school is out I’ve been trying to keep the boys busy this Summer while not breaking the bank, so free events are really my go to as of lately. I’ve been doing research on free family fun here in Chicago and came across an event Nintendo is doing at Navy Pier. I had to share it with my readers.
