Summer fun fund.

We are hoping to do lots of fun things this summer on a budget. Today at breakfast, I asked each member of my family to say one fun thing they could like to do this summer. Nathan said that he would like to go to his friend Samuel's house. Jim said he would like to visit some flea markets that we have never been to and hit lots of garage sales. Kameron would like to go to David's house to ride Cinnamon, fish, and MAYBE swim in the pond. I said I would like to take a mini vacation camping on lake Erie.

I'm sure we can do a lot of these things on a budget, and find lots of free and cheap things to do. We decided to start a coin jar and label it Summer Fun Fund. Whenever the boys are caught being good or do extra chores, Jim or I can give them a coin or two. Whenever we want to do something, we will count up our change and hit the road. I am hoping it teaches them some responsibility and the value of money too!

Summer fun, here we come.
