Welcome to Week 9 of our Project Summer Frugal Fun Challenge. Be sure to complete today’s easy task at the bottom to enter to win a $25 Amazon gift card!
***
Sorry about being a No-Show for Week 8 of our Frugal Fun Challenge.
I have a good excuse, however. We were busy doing this:
Annual Family Olympics
And this:
Murder Mystery Theater (written by my nephews)
I’ve shared before that my family has an annual vacation that has turned into quite the epic event over the years. This year we calculated that this was our 13th vacation and we’ve added 9 new family members through the years.
I guess we may not be normal, but we sure do have a whole lot of fun!
This week has been pretty quiet around here. My oldest was at a full day sports camp all week and the rest of us have been trying to get our after-vacation groove back.
We did have a pretty big day yesterday, however. We celebrated this kid’s birthday:
He wasn’t excited at all.
I shared on Facebook that I’m going to squeeze him until next year so that he doesn’t get any bigger.
So that’s what we’ve been up to lately. How about you?

Met parent/baby friends at the local Farmers Market and shared our fresh bought purchases at a picnic in the park near by while the babies crawled around together.
We went to the lake. The family had fun in the sand and the water.
Take a walk on the beach! Enjoying the beauty of nature and for those of us effected by Superstorm Sandy, seeing the shore still there was wonderfun
Took the kids to the beach, lots of fun!
Brought kids to fun-swim, supermarkets, library, friend ‘s house to play with other kids, that ‘s all my week trip :-).
we’ve enjoyed growing a veggie garden this year. . .it is fun and also saves money
Spent time on the beach watching the sunset–BEAUTIFUL! Take time to smell the roses and watch the sunsets!
Grill up some vegetables (or make some homemade veggie burgers), make some homemade water ice and have a backyard picnic
Go to a local fair or festival with your family. Fun times!

We went geocaching. Great exercise, fun adventure, and free!
Play a game of baseball or kick-ball.
Making sure I get out in he sunshine everyday that we have sun. Also trying to go through boxes in the house and sorting things I want, things to give to my grown kids and things to give to charity.
We opened the tent we’ve had for years before our kids arrived and shared a back yard camping adventure. Even more fun this time around 🙂
Have a picnic at a park. It doesn’t have to be anything too involved but just spend some quality family-time talking and enjoying nature.
My husband and I went zip lining in the Poconos. It was so much fun! Highly recommend it.
Taking days to be lazy and do absolutely nothing!!
Let the kids play in the creek to splash. cool down and catch fish and tadpoles. Good old-fashioned, free fun 🙂
Our kids had a ball at Vacation Bible School.
We enjoyed some competitive miniature golf.
Visit a splash pad park. Free fun the kiddos love!
