It's summer! This means no school and that kids are home 24/7. For some, vacations are impossible. Even if you are able to go on vacation, it only lasts for a week. Doing fun stuff all summer can get expensive, therefore, it is good to find some cheap activities to fill the summer days.

Just because the activities may be cheap, doesn't mean they can't be fun! Summer is about making lasting memories with people you care about. If you can't wait to make memories, without busting the budget, take a look at these ten ideas!

Water gun fight

Kick off the summer right!

Bowling

Sometimes the heat can be unbearable. Bowling is a fun air conditioned activity.

Buy a kiddie pool

It may be small, but they will still try to dive.

Go biking

Go to the park

What kid doesn't like to show off how good they are at doing the monkey bars?

Get a dollar ice cream at McDonald's

Yum.

A scavenger hunt. Maybe for buried treasure?

A scavenger hunt gets kids excited and willing to work together. It is a good way to get some bonding time in!

Plant a garden

We love to garden in my family. We grow tomatoes, squash, zucchini, blueberries, and much more. Summer time is perfect for planting, watering, and picking ripe veggies.

Find and paint cool rocks!

Paint may be messy, but the memories are worth it.

Sidewalk chalk. They can draw pictures or use it for making games!

My siblings and I love to play with chalk. We can make beautiful art. Or we can make hand prints and outline our bodies. We also can play hop scotch!

Have fun!

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
