I love this blog - www.freebies2deals.com. Today she posted this great list of free or mostly free ideas to entertain the kiddos this summer. With only a few more days of school, there are only a few more days until "Mom, I'm bored. Dad, can we go...(fill in the lastest place)"
At least that is how it is at the Dixon house...so, this might be fun for kids of all ages :)
