Thrifty Thursday: Free Summer Fun

Thursday June 4, 2009

Free summer fun doesn't have to be anything too elaborate. Let's face it, if it's free summer fun, it's pretty unlikely to be elaborate.

What puts the "fun" in these free summer fun ideas is the parent participation. Work-at-home moms need everyday summer activities to keep kids busy while they work. But all work and no play can make mom a dull girl. And more than that kids start to get a little stir crazy after finding their own fun for too long.

Sometimes you may want to splurge and do something expensive like a water park, but these are for when you're looking for something fun on a budget. Many of these ideas will work during those long summer evenings but if you want some daytime fun shift your schedule or take time off to join in the fun.
