Things to do!

  • Walking a dog for the local shelter is free and has the added bonus of companionship when your human friends are otherwise occupied.
  • Craft time with the kids can be an inexpensive and fun way to pass the afternoon. There are many ideas from homemade edible playdough, paper airplanes and fingerpainting (shaving cream and food dye) can lead to great moments and conversations.
  • Disc Golf, Frisbee, Spray Parks and Miniature Golf
