go to your aaa.com and become a member if that is not too expensive for you and get discounted tickets for amusement parks, zoos, and water parks depending where you live I got a
$1200 buck vacation for two adults and two kids for $400.
there are also tons of vacation bible schools that you can put your kids in in the am 9-12 or the evening 6:30 -8:30 for a little "me " time so the kids don't drive you crazy three weeks before school starts also some of these churches offer a free meal for the kids before the sessions starts. depending on where you live the salvation army has family stuff to do like going to an Cleveland Indians game or a reading enrichment class for kids and even a free summer camp. have fun

*Go to the redbox and rent a movie for 1.00
*Use any free coupons you have.
*Bake rice crispy treats, oreo treats, make ice cream floats.

*I also take the kids window shopping. It's different for every child. If you go pack some snacks or drinks.

*The library is also good. If your children are between the ages of 5-6 they love blocks!

*Go to yard sales and get the kids some toys they maybe intrested in . Go alone, it 's too hot for the kids.

*If you have a computer, they love computer games!
* check the websites for arts *crafts and coloring

* Take pictures or make your own video. Kids love that!

Good luck! These seem to be working well for me

State Parks. Visit often!

Libraries have summer reading programs with special guest presentations, contests, and prizes. Call and see what they have going on.

Volunteer at the humane society and get to play with all the cute dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens.
