I thought I'd limit myself to ten things, so many other options also came to mind. If we worked at it for a while, we could probably come up with a list of thousands of things families could do together that did not require 'an arm and a leg'.
And, of course, the concept of 'inexpensive' will vary from family to family. On one end of the scale, frugality in family activities might entail vacationing at Disneyland instead of a tour of Europe. Others may be stretching things simply using gas to drive to a location where the family can hike or have a picnic. Most families fall somewhere in between.
The point is that family activities are more about spending time together rather than spending money.
What are some of the activities your family enjoys?
Great list! I think it is so important for families to spend time together.
