Well I start searching online for stuff to do besides go to the beach. Turns out that in the Brevard County, Florida there is plenty to do that cost nothing or close to it. Here is a list of things that I found online through on My Space Coast.

These are just a few examples. There is also stuff outside of Brevard county, but close enough for a day trip. One that we went to last year for Fathers day was Lion Country Safari. This place is great. Basically you drive through a zoo, you can see all the animals up close and learn about them from a CD you play your car. Once you're done you park and they have an amusement park with lots of fun stuff for the whole family. They have a Safari Splash, which is an interactive water playground. They also have a train, miniature golf, a boat ride and many more other fun things.

Movies are a great thing for summer and our local theaters offer kids day, they play moves that are already on video but it's free. One thing that we do every summer is water day at home. Basically, we set up the backyard like a water park with slip and slides, a small inflatable pool, sprinklers, anything that we can find that's fun. We invite over friend and cook out and spend the day at home having a blast.
