- Take a swim class with the city recreation center.
- Learn handyman skills together as a family from free resources online and at the library.
- Go bowling.
- Garden
- Craft and learn to draw.
- Walking tours of the area's more pleasant places.
- Read and relax in the backyard.
- Hang out together with no plans .

I so hear you on this. I have planned at least two vacations ("exciting" ones) every summer. This summer I too am keeping it frugal: No summer camp which was quite costly, instead two Vacation Bible Studies, one short shore vacation, the other...a nice local hotel with free breakfast and nice pool (just like y'all!), library, bowling, lounging, kiddie pool, sprinkler, local park and parks within day trip distance. Prices of everything are insane. I will also...if all goes as planned, be a mamma to a new member of our family as our first foster baby is planned to be placed with us within the next week or two! :) Have a great summer.
Congrats on your foster baby!
Sounds like a perfect summer :)
