Ok, maybe not cheap but it certainly doesn't cost much to entertain us!
~My mom took both kids to the city pool today for ONE HOUR, then to Sonic for ice cream cones; cost $7
~My mom took both kids overnight recently for a trip to the beach at Stockton Lake including roasting hot dogs and having candy and orange soda; cost $10
~Mike took a giant sheet of plastic from his shop, put baby oil & water on it and the kids had a slip & slide; FREE
~Taylor and I checked-out 2 seasons of Little House on the Prairie on DVD from our local library, she loved them; FREE
~Derek found a random bobby-pin today in my truck.......entertained him for like 30 min; free.
All of this makes me very happy that my kids can be happy without me having to sell a major organ to finance their fun. Summer is almost over but it's been one of our best ever.
So glad to know we are not the only family that loves cheap entertainment. I know my kids would love a trip to Disney World, but they seem to be equally happy catching crawdads at the creek. I hope they always love the simple pleasures!
