Here it is... my much awaited for Summer Calendar! It is impossible to find all the events in one place, so I take the time every year to put this together. Most of the events are free or very low cost. Feel free to share with others. I will add events as I find them.
Great list of 100 free things to do with your kids from digital reflections. Includes printable, and directions. Would also be great to have on hand for those "I'm bored" days. http://www.digitalreflections.typepad.com/digital_reflections/2009/06/100-free-things-to-do-with-your-kids-this-summer.html
