Four Frugal Summer Activitiesby Mary Ann Romans | More from this Blogger 25 Jun 2007 08:33 PM Summer is a wonderful time to have some great family fun. My kids are so excited about the summer and all that they can do. Well, my son told his kindergarten teacher that he plans on spending the summer playing video games, so we will have to remedy that thinking, but I am sure it will be easy to accomplish; after all, kids were just made for summer fun. There are so many things to do that are free or low cost in the summer. Here are four frugal summer activities that you can do with your family. A Block Party Having a block party is a great way to make your own summer entertainment and get to know your neighbors at the same time. A block party can be very frugal because each neighbor can pitch in a little, and very often you can find local businesses to be sponsors, donate "door prizes," food, music and more. Crazy but true. Hike Or Bike Hiking and biking, whether it is through a neighborhood or along a trail are wonderful summertime activities that the whole family can enjoy. You will get the fresh air and some free exercise, too. Bored with your own trails? A short drive to another town is still very frugal. Free Summer Music I am a big fan of summer music. There is nothing like going to a concert in a park on a beach and enjoying some great artistry. While some summer music concerts do charge an admission, many are absolutely free to the public.
