One day a week we volunteer planting trees, reading to small children, reading with the elderly. Tutoring through an adult literacy program. All of these of things that come up through volunteering have brought great enexpected rewards to our family.

We try to make several long weekends camping with family. Grilling and swimming are fun things to do.

We go to the beach and bring our own lunches, snacks, and toys. We will try to get to the beach by 10 or 11am and we will stay until at least 4 or 5pm. It's all day, it cost ZERO dollars and it is tons of fun!!

Hi we go to Amusement parks when they have discount days. For instance, Canobie Lake Park will have a promotion on Father's Day for free admission for dads.

We've been campers since I was a little girl, and despite the fact I'm now 30 and live away from home, we love getting together in the summer to relive those great memories.
