We have been on the prowl for fun and cheap activities for the boys this summer. Last week started up our local library systems annual reading program. I absolutely adore this program. Once a week they provide fun skits, plays or musical entertainment that is based on a book. Some of the people that perform have been coming for years and are soooo much fun. I absolutely love the Lucky Penny Players. Besides all that goodness we will get the opportunity to go to the Science Museum and The Sam Noble museum for free.... after we complete our reading goals for the summer.... more fun freebies are awarded! And of course, the best part of all... it keeps my kids READING!!!
We also like to go play at the park, walk the nature trails and see what kind of leaves and bugs we can find, feed the squirrels, feed the ducks and go play at the free splash park that our city put in a couple of years ago.
We have a big birthday party coming up this weekend for 2 of the boys... A Dinosaur themed party. Perfect time to head to the zoo to see their Dinosaur exhibit.
In the next few weekends, provided Don has a day off, we'll be heading (OMG I CAN'T contain my excitement!!) to the Great Salt Plains in Northwest Oklahoma to dig for crystals! YAY. I did this when I wasin elementary school for a field trip and had the best time ever! I can't wait to take my boys. I have been dying to visit for a couple of years, but the digging portion of the park had been closed down and has FINALLY reopened the end of April! This will be a day trip with picnic lunch included! Have I mentioned yet that I can't wait???
