Spent Saturday a couple of towns over at an outdoor art show. It was a good time, free and had tons of kids activities. We packed a cooler and picnicked under a huge tree and enjoyed the music. It's a good idea to check Craigslist for your area, the paper (online), the news channels here have a community calendar section that covers all the little towns around, and connect with other parents to get ideas. Our community pool is fun, but I think it's way overpriced and you have to pay to stay even if you aren't swimming!

You can go and spend all day. It has a nice beach, really deep clean water, and lifeguards keeping an eye on things. We bring a cooler of snacks, drinks, and sandwiches and spend a good number of summer days there. We still had a frost warning for last night, so hope we can go to the lake soon!

Sometimes I make a healthy shmealthy smoothie to freeze. These batches have been juice. I try to buy real juice. To be really fancy, I freeze juices in layers. Watermelon is also a big hit here. Last year I bought a summer long swim pass for the community pool. Not free but it did save money in the long term and I didn't have to dig up change everytime I wanted to swim.
