Summer Break

Day 2 of Summer Vacation and the kids are already bored and testing my patience. I've found they do a lot better if they are split up doing different things...they are less likely to get on each others nerves. I am trying to think of some things we can do for free here or at least low cost.

~I found a couple of cute games at Target that were on sale for a GREAT price, so I picked those up.
~I cleaned out Lauryn's sand/water table she got a couple years ago for her birthday, and the kids enjoyed that.
~The girl's were invited by our neighbor to go to Magic Mountain (the day school got out, and Breanna had a free ticket) and they had a great time.
~Breanna is going to the beach with her friend's family.
~Coming up later this month there is The Summer Reading Program starting at the library
~Free concerts in the park
~We have season passes to Disneyland, so we plan on going a couple of days in August before school starts back up...(taking our own food this time)
~Swimming at my mom and dads

I am still trying to come up with more things for them to do so that I (they) make it through the summer!

Slip n slides ALWAYS keep my kids busy. They have the ones now that have two next to each other so two kids can go at once. :)

Great idea on the slip n slide. Better for me if I can get them outdoors instead of spending time in front of the tv too!
