Here’s a fun one for grownups- make your own weighted hoop. For about $17 you can make a weighted hoop out of a 10′ pvc pipe and a $1 connector, some water and some duct tape. Fun times hula hoopin!

Tip: create your own “waterpark” or splash pad.
Buy a couple of cheaper sprinklers from Canadian Tire or Walmart and a kiddie pool. Place the objects around your yard and let the kids run wild 🙂

Go see the free Ballet in the Park and Movies in the Park at the Lyric Theatre in Assiniboine Park during the summer.
BBQ in the park with hot dogs and hamburgers. Grow your own veggies or shop farmers markerts or swap with a neighbour. Watch out for hidden sales… I stocked up on hamburgers from Safeway. They were on 14.99 on sale for 8,99 and then a 50% sticker in them which made them 4.50 (pack of 25)
Find a recipe to make your own Starbuck’s Frappuccino.

Be sure to take in the Lyric Theatre in July and August. There are free musical shows on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sunday evenings from 7 to 9 pm for whole family. FREE!
In August, at the lyric Theatre at Assiniboine Park, they have two movies on a Friday night. Usually shows earlier are kid shows and they leave around 9:00 pm. Bring a chair or blanket and your treats from home.
I was going to say the movies at Assiniboine Park… Looks like no one has mentioned the free slash pads and kiddie pools on a warm day! The Lorette one opened last year and is awesome for us country folk to go to, rather then driving all the way to the city!
Spend time at Assiniboine Park either at the playground, feeding the ducks, playing catch or just riding your bikes.
grow your own veggies and make it a family project to plant and care for the garden!!
movies in the park in August
summer swimming lessons at the Y – if you are already a member it does not cost extra
A good summer tip, is to go to one of the parks (ex: birds hill) when its one of the FREE PARK ENTRY weekends! good way to save some cash, and have some fun at the beach!
-We grow our own garden and share the bounty with family
-bike rides in the neighborhood
-potluck BBQ
-a stroll or drive through Kildonan Park

Cheapest (and most fun) summer activities:
-Walking through the park with a friend, especially the parks with well-manicured flower beds
– Camping – or joining friends who are camping for the day – can be inexpensive and uncomplicated (or complicated and expensive if you need to bring the frills with you! 🙂
Favorite free summer activities include going to the park, biking, sprinkler/kiddy pool at home, water table, chalk, bubbles etc!

love playing at city parks with the kids and packing a snack to have a ‘picnic’
for a cheap (but not free) summer activity we like to drive to Lockport and enjoy a walk and ice cream or hotdogs
Cheap summer activity: I bought the groupon for the zoo family membership for 50. Guess that is more all year round though
My favourite family activity is to go on a destination bike ride. We are not too far from The Forks or Kildonan Park so going out on a nice sunny day is great!

Start making your own potato chips. Thinly slice, mix with olive oil, sprinkle with Sea salt, and bake at 350 for 30 min. They are soooo good!
It’s on my facebook status 😀
