The kids will be out of school in the next couple of weeks. Unless they are on the year-round schedule, you have a lot of days to fill. Fortunately, here is Salt Lake City there are many activities that are free of charge.
1. Picnic at the Great Salt Lake -- people from all over the world visit the Great Salt Lake but the locals seem to take it for granted. The Brine Flies won't be out until the 1st. of July so right now is a great time to visit.
2. The Capitol Building -- Here is a lot of history in this building. Take the tour. Perhaps you'll see the legislators or even the Governor.
3. Memory Grove -- just west of the Capitol Building -- plenty of room to run and play and shady for picnicing.
4. This is the Place Monument -- Also lots of history and very nice for picnics
5. The Beehive House -- The tour is very interesting and the candy at the end is a surprise.
6. The City Library -- always has things going in the summer.
7. Visit any one of a huge number of Parks in the city
Don't forget to keep up with the children's reading. Just because school is out, doesn't mean the whole routine should be forgotten.
These activities are GREAT!!!!! When my daughter was younger we did these free/low cost kinds of things ALL the time. Now that she is all grown up -- these are the times she remembers as the most fun. Kids don't need you to spend money, they just need your time!
