We have to get our weekend straight and fixed so that we don't have a stressful weekend after having a stressful day. Here are some ways you can make it worthwhile with your family.
"The best things in life are free," goes the old
saying--but what can you do for free that's
actually...well...fun? Here's some pointers to
explore the cheap fun things to do with your
family.
Check your local newspaper for
Community Events. Towns, cities,
libraries, schools, recreation centers
and the like often have free events.
Check your local museums, parks,
and the like for special Open House
days or other events that offer free
admission.
Explore the Great Outdoors. Outside
parks, forests, state land, and the
like are often free and offer a lot of
fun activities like swimming, nature
hikes, camping, kite-flying, and the
like. Be sure to check out special
events like free workshops, guided
hikes, stargazing parties, and more.
Cook Together.
You have to cook
dinner; why not do it together? A
family cooking project: chocolate
chip cookies, barbecuing, making
smoothies, making applesauce, is
low cost and is fun. For the kids,
there are some great "food craft"
projects that they'll probably enjoy,
like creating brightly colored rice or
pasta to eat or making fruit sushi.
Play together.
When was the last
time you played catch with your
Dad? Played chess with your
stepmom? What about something
simple like rocks, paper, scissors or
tic tac toe ?
Create together.
Get your family
involved in a project, such as
building a tree house out of scrap
lumber, painting the living room,
creating a family scrapbook, and
more
