What a cheap summer looks like

Gas is crazy. It's a 100 degrees. My summer spending budget is on a diet. Soooooooo, that means good cheap fun for us. I have signed up Jackson up for swimming lessons, and Cooper and I go to a "toddler playtime" once a week. Other than that, it's either free or we aren't going! We went downtown to the Natural History Museum ( free besides parking! ) to take a look at the fossils ( he knew ALOT of them ).His vacation bible school starts next week and that is free, minus bringing snacks for the grownups. We are regulars at the library. I haven't braved the free movie day at the theater yet...


The hose. It's the equivalant of a cardboard box ("we have all these toys... ").



Shaving cream- a trick from from my nanny days. Possibly a whole hour of contentment!



Growing things. They like to check the progress- the sunflower is taller than the fence! Pumpkins taking over the yard!


Buliding "forches". I once caught Jackson reading to Cooper.


Two more months to go! Have anymore cheap ideas for me??

There's always grandma's house!
