- DUH! The Beach...this is a given but believe it or not, we sometimes forget about this FREE resource. If you've read my blog before, you know we LOVE the worlds biggest sand box. We hope to make lots of trips with friends and fam.
- Our neighborhood pool...again, we often forget about this FREE resource and again we plan to go A LOT with friends and fam.
- Free Tuesdays at Balboa Park...the Natural History Museum has a new exhibit on Gems and Minerals...something Lo and I both will enjoy.
- Birch Aquarium - its small but mighty...there are always coupons in those free Family magazines and on the first weekend each month, they offer free admission!
- The new Children's museum - another great kid play place and they also offer free admission on the first weekend of the month AND Target supports Free Second Sunday. I've also heard that the public libraries carry passes. Might need to check that out too.
- Summer Reading Library Programs - WE ♥ our Libraries! RB & PQ libraries are great along with the Poway & 4S branch
- The Zoo and the Wild Animal Park...now that the WAP has the water play areas, it might just make summer time visits a little more bearable. (get it...bearable...wild animals...I crack myself up)
- The Kumeyaay-Ipai Interpretive Center of Pauwai - we drive by this so often and have never checked it out.
- Pioneer Park - love this place, just went today with Caden...such a great kiddie water park with the craziest slide EVER!
- Movies in the park - not really sure if this will work with Caden, but it might be worth a try.
- See the seals in La Jolla. They stink but they are cute.
- Field trip to a few favorite restaurants Pelly's, Roberto's Taco Shop on the way to Torrey pines, lettuce wraps at Pei Wei, slushes from Sonic, (still thinking)
- Breakfast at IKEA. Last few times we've been there, they didn't serve Swedish pancakes, which I love, but it's still a decent amount of food and Logan loves that play area. Of course, by the time Caden is old enough to go play, Lo will be too big :(
- Padre Game at Petco...could be fun...maybe glove night, hat night
- Jr Ranger program at Torrey Pines. Looks like a great program but I'm guessing it fills up fast.
- Summer Concerts around town...we love HELP! the Beatles cover band and the 4 o'clock Friday line up looks pretty good too (preferably without the kids).
- Feed the ducks at Lake Poway...Caden IS obsessed with ducky bread
- Hike the Highland Valley trail. We started it with Logan's cubscouts but ran out of time.
- MOVIES - again, maybe not the best with Caden

Summer is Quickly Approaching
and I don't feel ready! In summers past, we've always had a bit of a plan... maybe a vacation mixed in with a couple day camps, swim lessons, gymnastics etc. This summer has snuck up on me! Partly because it is STILL May and school used to get out around the 14th of June every year....NOT THIS YEAR! How does one week make such a difference to my mental preparation?
Last summer, Logan and I made his "What can I do? list" That worked really well...we will definitely do that again but now that Caden is older, we can drag him along to more outings too. So in my crazy need to plan way, I'm trying to compile cheap ideas to keep us busy. We are so very lucky to live in "the most desirable holiday destination". (a mom from Logan's school said that to me today, she's from England and it sounded so perfect, especially in her proper British accent)

Hang out with the Rosses!
It is true, you guys are all sorts of cheap entertainment :)
I want to hang out with the Rosses and the Van Pelts....all the cheap entertainment one could need! Thanks for this list though Shar....since we can't always hang with your families it has me inspired to do this list with my kids for northern cal. This will likely be my only summer with them when I don't have to work, so I had better make the most of it, and it had better be CHEAP since I'm not working! ;-)
