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?

Family trip through Yellowstone!
Go pick some seasonal fruit…we did blueberries. Now is a good time for apples!
visited the SPCA to pet & play with the kitties so they weren’t so lonely. Someday we will adopt one (or some), until we can this helps us both out 🙂
we’ve made homemade popsicles using juice and fresh fruit. Yummy treat for super hot days! 🙂
We went to the local pond / creek with a “butterfly” net from the dollar store and the kids caught sunnys and tadpoles and minnows. We stayed for hours, they loved it. Just don’t forget to bring old shoes and towels.
took a day trip to the shore.
An excellent series and I cannot wait to catch up with it since our summer will be around for another month or so.
Swimming, it is relaxing and healthy at the same time !
We attended a few free outdoor concerts at our capital.
we explored a new place – in our case, the nature center at the entrance to the chesapeake bay bridge tunnel. spent an hour in the middle of a 10 hour trip home from the beach having some great family time for my daughter and i with no rush or agenda.
I love making a mini golf course for the kids with a putter, golf ball and red solo cups. Easy frugal fun! You can even add water hazards (I.e. a sprinkler)!
We made some foam dough which was a hit with the kids.
half moon bay beaches on pacific coast by san fran then explortorum by the piers in san fran bay.dinner in Chinatown…I get your emails
We enjoyed our local splash pad & water park often this summer. Splash pads are free & everywhere around our area & the water park is a community one & we would go on family day – cheap! Totally worth it & the kids have a blast – no need to spend the big bucks on the fancy Schmancy water parks :). Plus you do not
Feel like you have to spend 18 hours there to get your money’s worth & then be exhausted for the next week. Ah summer. Glad it’s almost over. Haha
