Things to Do with Your Kids this Summer-Free and Simple!

There are two kinds of summer moms:

Those who send their kids to day camp and continue their voyage of sanity during the summer months.

Those who pretend that they just love being with their kids all summer while in public, but are secretly counting the days until school begins again.  They start out loving the fact that their kids are home all day or part of the day, but that wears off sometime around week four when the kids get bored.

I have written a series of article on Infobarrel.com about low cost and free activities for your kids this summer.

In sum, I have written about where to find free and low cost movies, free bowling, free museums, free arts and crafts classes, free storytimes and a few other activities.

On the side of the article are other articles I have written about summer fun.

My children will all be attending a Jewish day camp this summer.  My fifteen year old is working there all summer, my twins will have their first adventure there for six weeks.  Since my fifteen year old is in the same division, she will be able to keep an eye out on them, as well as her friends, who also work there.

All of my kids have stayed home with me, attending part-time camp each summer, until they were seven.  I even worked in my twins' camp for a few years to get a discount.  Nowadays, I work on the weekend to give them the gift of camp, a place where they can immeresed in a Jewish environment with (mostly) other Jewish kids, something that is very important to me.

I will still have over four weeks to have fun with my kids when they are at home. I am having surgery in July on my rotator cuff, and I intend to have a quick recovey.  Having things to do when they are at home while I am recovering will be a blessing for us all!
