Backyard Camping
Pitch a tent in your backyard and sleep under the stars. If you don't have a tent,
build a fort with blankets and chairs in your living room.
Your kids will be sure to love the play time spent together!

Have a lemonade Stand
If this is done right, a lemonade stand can be a miniature gold mine.
Honestly, who can resist tiny entrepreneurs?!
