I don't have a lot of extra funds when things are said and done but I manage little mini-trips here and there. The kids think those are great.

I also must say I know my kids. They can talk to me about anything and everything. I am lucky that my boys work at the local movie theater and so we can go to movies for free. We haven't taken advantage of that so much as the boys work nearly every weekend during school. Lately though we have gone alot. Even with S19 getting another job, the theater is giving him a few hours so that he can keep that benefit.

Just remember your kids want to be with YOU. You don't need to entertain them.
