While Allen County kids have a short-summer extension, most kids were enjoying the warm weather one last time before heading back to school this week .

July 31 is the last weekday the Russell Sims Aquatic Center will be open.

With school beginning this week, some kids say there's still some more they want to do before their summer break is over.

"I'd like to go see a movie at the theater!" 5th grader Austin Marr said.

The park will continue to be open Saturday's from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Sunday's from 1-6:30 p.m.

And it will remain open until Sept. 3, when the water park will close for fall and winter.
