We like to take our kids to a local park with a swimming beach and a playgroud, and pack a picnic lunch. It can be a whole day of fun for cheap!
Like your blog!
The grandkids and I are going to the beach to build sandcastles. On July 4th we can go to Ft. Lauderdale beach and see how the pros build them. Kids really love it and Grandma's house stays clean. And it's totally free.
I love all the free events and festivals. I'm so excited about a Wild about Omaha weekend, when we can get free zoo and children's museum admission and see a baseball game for free.
