I love the summer! No homework, no rushing around and everyone seems to be in a better mood. For me, the summer is one big, deep, cleansing breath that continues for two months! That being said, I don't think kids quite get the idea that summer should represent a change of pace. They don't bicker less with siblings, they don't nag any less and they certainly don't give you any more time alone in the bathroom!
Too often, summer goes by so fast that before you know it, the kids are back in school and schedules fill up with sports, lessons and other activities. If you’re looking for some cheap, fun activities to do with your kids during the summer, I have an idea for every week.
Even at thirty-something years of age, I still love summer vacation. It is so exhilarating, that season of long days of sunshine, cool splashes at the pool, the crack of the bat hitting a baseball and, of course, daily doses of ice cream! However, an exceptional summer takes a little planning. Otherwise, September will come and you’ll find that you and the kids have spent the last three months in front of the television. Life is so much richer than that!
The days are hot and long, the kids are out of school and everyone is looking for something fun to do that won’t burn holes in their pockets. Here are nine budget-friendly ways to have fun with the whole family this summer!
