Summer fun

Last week, my family and I went to Legoland California.  I searched the internet for ticket prices and I felt like the prices were a little expensive.  So, I asked a friend about getting discount tickets.    She sent me to Ebay.  I spent $3 for a 40% off coupon.  I used the coupon and received an email with directions to purchase my tickets.  I purchased 2 adult tickets and 1 child’s tickets for about $150.   It would have cost me a little over $200.  Sooooo. . . long story short, always check ebay or craigslist for discounts.  I feel like I got a great deal.

Summer fun – Here are some other fun summer ideas.  I signed my daughter up for free bowling at kidsbowlfree.com.   Lucy gets 2 free games a day and I spent $20 for a family pass for Bill and I.   Now Lucy and I can go bowling everyday if we so desire.   The coupons are emailed to me every Sunday.  We love it.  Some of our friends signed up as well so we can all go together.  Thank you to my sister-in-law for telling us about the bowling.

Check out your local movie theaters.  Some of  have $1 movies and some of are free.   The movies are older but still fun and gets us out of the house for a few hours. 

Also, check out your local library.  Most of them have summer reading programs and activities for all ages.   I take Lucy to Wacky Wednesday.  I get a 45 minute brake and she has fun singing and watching a puppet show.

Last but not least - Check out your local community for movies on the lawn.  Yorba Linda has several parks that show movies.  We have also attended the Orange County Great Park in Irvine for movie night.   The movies are free.   We take our own snacks but sometimes there are food trucks or snack booths to support the local youth programs.

I am sure most of you already have your summers packed but just thought I would throw out some ideas.  Have a great summer.
