If it’s a quiet rainy day (no thunder/lightening) we like to go for walks, jumping in the puddles, twirling our umbrellas.  Geetle likes to look for worms too.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.beagooddad.com/15/cheap-fun-with-balloons/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Dump out your toy box.  There are things in there no one has played with in months.  Once they see it again, they will play with it for several weeks.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.beagooddad.com/15/cheap-fun-with-balloons/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Make something for someone special.

The kids love playing in the playground at McDonalds, affectionately called “The Tubes.”  In my experience, if you go between meals, the most they will hit you up for is a juicebox.  $1 each.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.beagooddad.com/15/cheap-fun-with-balloons/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">The library.  Our library has an indoor children’s area with a play kitchen, puzzles and a turtle tank.  They rotate the toys frequently and its always something new.  Free, even if you go home with some books and videos.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.beagooddad.com/15/cheap-fun-with-balloons/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">The Bookstore.
