Summer time plans

Many times during the summer as parent's we hear "I'm bored."or "What are we doing today? " So, I have compiled a list of things to do this summer. Most are free or cheap and some are more costly.. (like the zoo) not all these things will be done but I am ready for the days that we can not stay in the same house together and must get out. =) If I forgot something or you know of something that is fun please let me know and I will add it to the list.
