Having a large enough family, it's easy to assume that there is never much money for doing a little extra with the kids, and with the rising cost of gas.........................it's tougher than ever.
In doing a little research I came up with a few ideas that might take the sting out of the rising gas prices and allow you to have fun with your kids at no-cost.
# 1 - Grand Haven's "Tuesday's in the Park".
This free concert series is located in Grand Haven's Central Park. The cost is free and the even is held every Tuesday beginning June 3rd and runs through August 28th. The first concert is a Jazz ensemble. The show begins at approximately 7 pm and will end around 8:30pm.
This is a great chance to get outside and to expose the kids to music and the different styles of music.
#2 - Picking Blueberries.
While the heat of summer can be overwhelming, picking your own blueberries can be a great family treat! Not only will your family have time to bond together, you get a great treat at the end of the night.
#3- Go For a Swim
West Michigan is full of swimming holes and beautiful sandy beaches. For those who don't like huge crowds at the main beaches, there are many many many small public beaches you can enjoy with the family and avoid the crowds and costs of visiting the public beach.
#4- Go for a Walk
Walking along the beautiful boardwalks and beaches is another free activity you can do with your family. The beauty and the water are a wonderful place to gather together, the kids can search for shells and you can relax.
#5-Visit the museums.
Grand Haven has two wonderful Museums that are low cost or free downtown and offer a wide range of local History.
#6-Waterfront Stadium in Grand Haven
During the summer months, Grand Haven's waterfront stadium has a host of concerts, religious ceremonies and other events that are free or low cost.
Here is the short list of things to do with your kids around the area.
