Summer Vacation Fun CONTINUED!

I told you that I'd have the rest of my list ready for you later this week, so here it is!

Here are even more fun, inexpensive (And even FREE!) things to do around San Diego County to avoid hearing, "I'm bored."

The links are provided.  Remember to call or check their website prior to going for current rates.

• Shadow Mountain Church Summer Blast! (This link goes to a YouTube Video from 2011): Many churches refer to it as Vacation Bible School (VBS) but at Shadow Mountain, its Summer Blast! Registration has not yet opened for it, but this year it will be held July 15-19.  It is so much fun! The kids will make new friends, crafts, play games, sing, dance, have snack, and learn about Jesus! It is a drop off program and free of charge. I get the privilege of teaching a classroom each year!
• Balboa Park Museums: San Diego County residents are free at selected museums on Tuesdays!
• Free Crafts at Lakeshore Learning: Saturdays from 11-3, Lakeshore Learning offers free crafts for kids! Keep in mind that since this is an educational store, they are not your boring crayon and paper "crafts".  
• Regal Movie Theaters: Check the listings for $1 movies during the summer! They are G and PG movies at 10:00 am, and perfect to beat the hot summer sun!
• Home Depot Kids (And Adults!) Workshops: Saturdays, from 9-Noon, kids can create and take home a fun wood craft.  It usually includes hammering and painting, which kids love! 
• San Diego County Fair: Okay, if you're like us, this is by no means free or inexpensive, because I enjoy purchasing unique items that I don't need, go on countless rides, and have to try every food item there! Nonetheless, children ages 12 and under can get in for FREE if they read 10 books, fill out the certificate, have their teacher sign it, and bring it with them to the fair! 
• Lowes Workshops for Kids: Build and grow workshops are fun and free for kids!
• Kids at Ikea: Mom Break! Did you know that when you shop at Ikea, your kids can play in a fun, supervised area, for free?! 
• GymTrix Alpine Flip for Friday: DATE NIGHT! Check the GymTrix calendar for the Friday evening kids events.  From 6:30-10:00 pm kids can have supervised play on the gymnastics equipment and partake in the theme of the night.  There is a cost for this, however, they have fun and even get fed!

And the list goes on! Whether is it Old Town, Julian, Lake El Capitan, a ferry boat to Coronado, kayaking at the bay, or riding bikes at Lake Murray, there is so much to do in this beautiful city! You don't have to break the bank to entertain your kids this summer.  I hope you enjoy the resources that I have provided and have fun!!
