Summer Fun Activities
Summer is in full swing out here on the Key Peninsula (okay, everywhere really). It's the middle of July. . .beaches have been explored, the sun has been shining brightly overhead, the sprinkler has been dashed through, and copious amounts of bubbles have been blown.
So. . .now what? Packing up the kids and taking off an the next great adventure on a moment's notice isn't always feasible. Seems like these days, family get-away vacations get more and more expensive. More and more folks are looking to do 'stay-cations' closer to home. The closer, hopefully the cheaper.
So. . .as I mentioned previously. . .the beaches have already been explored, the sprinkler's been dashed through about a gazillion times, and if I have to run out to the dollar store for a pack of bubbles one more time, I just might scream. ;-)
A momentary sense of panic set in. . .as I realized that summer was only half-way through, and my household of little munchkins were getting bored with repetitive backyard antics. Luckily, I received an email newsletter from a local family resource website - Gig Harbor Macaroni Kids. It's a great parent resource website, and the best part is their calendar of events. It's main focus seems to highlight those summer activities that are either FREE or fairly cheap. Craft Day at Michael's, Touch Tanks at Skansie Park with Harbor WildWatch, baby/toddler story times at the library. Whew!! I'm saved!! :-)
So feel free to peruse their website (see link below), jot some family-friendly (and best part cost-effective!) activities on the calendar, and enjoy the rest of your summer!
