Summer is quickly flying by. Don't miss out on many great things for kids - many that are very cheap or free! There is still time to make a few more summer memories yet. :)
I take my girls to the free summer lunch program every day at the park. This saves on my grocery budget weekly and we get fresh air and sunshine.
Check out your local pools and splash parks in your town. The above photo is our new local splash park right around the corner. It is $3 per person...take snacks, a cool drink and a good book to read! Or just go to the river - it's free. :)
VBS - Last week, our girls attended a week long Vacation Bible School at a local church in our area every evening. They have a great time and look forward to it every day.
This week, they attended an afternoon Bible Day Camp at a park right by our house. Again, they have a great time playing games, puppets, songs and crafts.
Keep your eye out for freebies or cheapies! Of course, we had to get free slurpees on 7-11. Last summer, we got the $.50 ice cream cones at Burger King once a week. Then it was $.25 iced coffees. There are lots of goodies to find that are a big deal to kids!
(The one in front is my adopted child, Reagan. ;) I babysit her.)
The library is probably our favorite free summer spot!
And you can find many great family events that are free. Here are the girls at a production of Charlotte's Web by a local theater company in Reno that was free. It was a great play and we enjoyed it very much!
Next week, we will be taking a two day mini vacation to California. The girls entered a reading program last school year and earned each a free ticket to Six Flags Amusement Park! The next day, we will take a free tour of the Jelly Belly Factory. What a fun and free time!
So get out there and make a few more memories before the summer ends!
