Free/ Inexpensive Family Fun this Saturday!

LOTS of fun stuff to do this Saturday! Some things might not be such a great idea in the rain, but there are SEVERAL cool things that will keep the kids (and you!) frugally entertained & dry!

*'families stand together' KPBS & The Escondido Children's Museum are hosting a free family event - there will be a screening of a special movie about feeling secure during tough times, Clifford the dog will be there for a 'meet & greet', and there will be lots of fun giveaways. 9am - 1230pm - event is free but you must RSVP for a screening time. WEBSITE SAYS RAIN OR SHINE! Even if you did not RSVP for a screening time this should still be a great event (there will probably be lots of no shows b/c of the rain so you may still get a seat even without the RSVP) - they marketed this all the way up to LA so it sounds like it is worth the drive out - we are going at 9am no matter how much it rains!

*Michaels arts & crafts - 'free' make & take (there is often a nominal fee for these crafts - sometimes free, sometimes you have to buy one item & you get to decorate free - still always very inexpensive) 10am - 2pm

*Lakeshore Learning Center
click here to find out what craft they are making FREE this week! 11am - 3pm

*Museums on Us is a cool program for Bank of America Customers - The New Children's Museum & Birch Aquarium are FREE this weekend when you show your Bank of America card - nice!

*Jack's Pond Nature Center in San Marcos - FREE every Saturday! 760-744-9000-3508 (maybe not such a great idea in the rain)

* San Elijo Lagoon has free guided walks with a naturalist FREE every Saturday! http://www.sanelijo.com/ - also probably not a great rainy day activity - but keep in mind for the future

*FREE Movie Screening at San Marcos Civic Center (these are AWESOME!) it is outdoors so bring jackets & blankets - 630pm - *this may be canceled if there is still rain =(

*always check with your local library for Saturday craft days - this Saturday there are confirmed craft at Del Mar (MUST REGISTER) & Campo Morena Branches

Enjoy ~
