This summer is going to suck do to the gas prices! We was planning a great summer full of adventures as a family. Now it is looking grim. Not to mention the price of everything from food to clothes going up because of fuel prices. Who else feels like they are going to have a bumpy ride this summer? Who thinks the ecomomy is in for a bumpy ride?

I agree, we have not seen the end of the price hikes yet. And pay raises are non-existent or very small. Nothing that can keep up with the kind of inflation we are seeing. The stimulus check pretty much gets eaten up by the higher gas prices and correspondingly higher food and clothing prices. We just have to learn to do with less. It'll be a bumpy ride this summer AND a small Christmas.
Anyhow, to keep your family entertained even the small nearby adventures will do. You'll be amazed how many things you can do for free in your own hometown and surrounding area. You just have to keep your eyes open. And most kids are just happy that they get to spend some fun time with their parents, even if it is just tossing a ball in the yard.
Keep safe this summer!

Thanks, that is really good advice. I was so wrapped up in trying to do more for our kids that I forgot the point, FAMILY TIME. I am sure that they will survive playing ball with us and family board games or anything that involves us together. :) We can even try to make up our own games.
