“Summertime and the livin is easy” or so say the words of an old song.  The living might be easy but not necessarily cheap.  That said, summertime is full of long sunny days filled with plenty of opportunities for getting outside to make memories with our loved ones.  Looking back on the years I spent raising my children, it went incredibly fast.  However, I’m grateful for the memory making moments we spent together, especially during the summer months.

Summertime can certainly be stressful for families. Day trips and adventures can be expensive. However, there are ways to keep the kids busy and have fun, too, without it costing too much.

As much as we love family, being cooped up at home and nowhere to go for the past two and a half months can make anyone a little stir crazy! Fortunately, even with some travel plans cancelled because of safety concerns, you can still get away and have an incredible adventure.  This is an opportunity to save money and build family memories.  You can do a road trip with your family for almost nothing—and you can do it right here in Utah.
