We talk about:

• Doing projects with our kids — building bookcases, raking leaves, make our own slip and slide.
• "Renting" videos from the library or borrowing them from a friend.
• Free days at museums
• Going fruit picking
• Taking a dairy farm tour
• Going to living history museum

Take a challenge to go one month with a recreation budget of $10. Your creativity will kick in and you'll have lots of fun without spending yourself into oblivion.

You might even enjoy just taking a leisurely walk in the park!
