I'm looking to steal some ideas of what to do with the kids while on summer break, things that are cost affective or free. We live in Murrieta CA, so we go to the farmers market in Old town Temecula every Saturday, we love it! We also take advantage of the library, the beach, the Muddy back yard & the Hose, :) Parks, friends pools & of course Net Flix. LoL But I'm looking for new/different adventures aside from the same ol same ol. So what are some things you guys are doing with your kids this Summer in the Murrieta/Temecula area & elsewhere?

Oh & if you DO live near Temecula, can anyone suggest a U pick farm around the general area? I've really been wanting to take the kids to a U pick farm for Berry's & other things. I know some offer story time & other things after you're done picking, but not sure which one(s). A farm that offers Organic or Pesticide free would be best, but I know that's pushin it.
Thanks for any help! :)

Have you heard of Geocaching ? That is fun for explorers. Look it up online and get educated.

Other ideas : scavenger hunts. crafts, puppet shows, bouncey places, cooking classes at home. Have the kids pick out receipes and make something new each week. My kids love to make pretend soup. A bunch of spices, cut veggies, & lettuce and water at the counter and they are good.
Treasure hunt. Make a map and put them on a treasure hunt with clues along the way. Go to the pond in your area look at animals for adoption. Go to retirement homes and color and make crafts for the elderly.

Thats all I can think of .
Good luck

Have you tried the Diamond Valley Aquatic center? Its located out in Hemet next to the Western Center Museum. I dont know how old your kids are - but they have a fantastic kids water park area for the little ones. It runs about $6-$7 /adult. I dont know what the website is - sorry, but I bet you could google it and find it!! In regards to the berry picking...there is a great strawberry picking farm off the 5 in Carlsbad. I believe its called the Carlsbad Strawberry Farm....we just went last week and had a blast - -I know they will be "picking" until late July....good luck!!
