But it doesn't have to break the bank in order to keep them busy and having fun. The most wonderful memoirs are often created from simplicity, great company, and some imagination. Here are a few fun suggestions for enjoying your summer while making fond memories that will last forever.Have a themed party. This is a fun thing to do for people of all ages. Visit your budget party shop or area thrift store and get some themed decorations that feel as laid back and fun as summer. A luau is the perfect example. You can buy some grass skirts for the girls and some leis for the boys along with some themed paper plates and cups. Luau-themed décor for the party can be found at the discount party stores, use your imagination and make it feel like you've escaped to a tiki-filled wonderland and where no one has a care in the world!Go on a camping trip. You can find some great camping gear at thrift stores. Many people buy tents, stoves, etc. and then only use them once or twice before donating them or having a yard sale. This is a great way to get gear for camping at a huge discount. If you prefer new discount camping gear, check out Web sites with overstock items on special for the best deals. You can purchase camping permits at your local lakes, beaches, or National Parks for very little cost. You can even camp in your very own yard! But don't forget the s'mores! Get a tee time at a local golf course. Golfing is one of the best ways for children to practice motor-skill development and coordination. It's easy to find discount golf equipment; you can buy it online from a closeout sports supplier, purchase it from a used store, or lease it from the golf course. Putt-putt golf is particularly fun for the kids because the course is filled with fun-themed holes and the putters are just their size! The cost is usually not too expensive too.Visit your local YMCA or community center. Aside from having water games to keep everyone cool on those burning hot summer days, but they often have fun crafts, activites, and even tennis courts for the kids. This is another great way to get the kids moving around and will challenge and improve their motor skills. Tennis racquets can be bought for only a few dollars at a garage sale and can bring tons of exercise and fun! If you want something new, shop on the clearance area of your sports store or even online vendors who have overstocks on sale.Buy a stand-up pool for your yard. For less than $120, you can purchase a above-ground pool that will surely be a smash with the kids for the entire summer! It can be a great way to gather all of their friends in one place while entertaining them for hours and keeping them cool. Summer is the time to get the best deals on seasonal items, so check online and in your local discount stores for sales on these great items! The best part is that you don't need a large outdoor area in order to put one together.In spite of the restrictions of a tight budget, you can still make the best out of this year's summer break! Try these suggestions out and create some more of your own. With some creative juices flowing, you can have a wonderfully relaxing summer and good times that will be remembered for a very long time!
