So, I'm a SAHM of 2 boys (almost 4 and almost 6 years old). Preschool ended on Thursday . It is now officially "summer" for us!!! I've budgeted us $100/month to spend on activities together. I've also included an extra $40/month in our restaurant budget (I figure that gets the boys and I either Chick-fil-a or McDonalds about once a week). SO, can you guys help me fill up our schedule with cheap/free activities? Here's what I've got so far:
--Library at least once per week (our local library has activities planned twice a week in the afternoons).
--Cinemark's summer movie club on Tuesday mornings ($5 for 10 movies), plus cost of snacks.
--I'm going to buy season passes to a place called Palm Beach in Galveston (which is about 30 minutes away). Passes are $30 each, and it is WAY cooler than our local pool which is only open from 1-5pm and costs $75 for a family season pass. I will buy these passes in advance, so it won't come out of my "budget money"
--Eat "out" once a week together and let the kids play in the play place.
We live in the Houston area, if that helps anyone (Friendswood, to be exact). There aren't any "free bowling" chains around here. What else can we do? --Katie
