Hey I have a 9 year old boy and a 7 year old girl... my hubby and i are trying to have another baby so i need some cheap or free things to do around dfw this summer to keep the kids busy. so if you have any ideas please let me know.
United Artists will be showing free movies on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from June to August with a different movie each week.
Your kids would LOVE our summer day camps on Lake Grapevine - www.adventureteamkids.com - they could just come for a day or two vs an entire week, or if I have openings, I'll discount your tuition - just so they could experience what we have to offer.
Also, for a family get-a-way - my timeshares with Silverleaf near Tyler...I can get you a 3 day, 2 night stay for FREE - all you have to do is go through their presentation...not bad..I actually enjoyed seeing all their new stuff...here's what you can do at the resort for free - putt-putt, daily movies, volleyball, swim, archery, tennis, ping pong, paddle boats, check out the board games or movies, etc. For a small fee, they have a new indoor water park, horse back riding, boat rentals, and more. A GREAT place to go for a few days and only about an hour 1/2 from DFW area. Feel free to call me if you are interested - ###-###-####...all I'll need is your name and phone number to give them. I have already referred a few other mamasource moms.
You can go to your local Mrs. Baird's Thrift Bread store and buy "bird bread" to feed the ducks. They keep bread in the back of the store that they cannot sell due to damage(being too squished) and sell a huge bag for $1. Whenever we plan a trip to feed the ducks we always do this. The kids really enjoy feeding the ducks, and we always have lots of bread left over so we can go back several times for that one dollar.
The Fort Worth Zoo has 1/2 price Wednesdays. If you have an Entertainment Passbook you can use the coupons out of that for discounts at a lot of local museums, movies, etc. Don't forget about the local recreation centers. Rec pools are often inexpensive, especially if you buy a membership. Have fun this summer!
