- For less than $15 bucks you can all hit up the batting cages and have a few rounds each.

- Volunteering as a family. It's free, helps the community, makes you feel great, and teaches the kids life lessons they most likely wouldn't anywhere else.

- Go play a game of hoops at the nearest court, excluding some in the inner city.

- Assuming you have some bikes and necessary safety equipment, find some trails, safety-up, and go for a ride.

- Fly a kite at a nearby park.

- I'm not sure how much a fishing license costs these days, but an annual should cover a year's worth of fun, assuming the kiddos don't get bored with fishing like I did when I was a kid.



I might have some info about getting cheaper tickets to Frontier City/White Water. I'll check back on that.
