My fave summer on a budget with the kids is the public library programming. There are at least two activities a week that we go to and they are FREE!
I put a link to the giveaway on QueenOfLemonade facebook page! :)
struggled on the "low-cal" part of the dessert but here goes:
Angel Food Cake (store bought at my house)
Sliced strawberries (frozen works if in hurry)
Blueberries (frozen works too)
Cool-Whip (can get the low/no fat but ickkkk) :)
You can slice the cake then a dollop of cool-whip and cover with the berries. Or you can cube the cake and layer in a trifle type dish (cake, cool whip, fruit and repeat).
I have done this with yogurt in place of cool whip too but it does not keep well if layered in a dish. Also the kiddos love bananas, peaches etc so sometimes I top the cake and cool whip with a fruit salad type mixture!
My favorite activity on a budget it to hit the beach out here at Ft Gibson lake! I love it. We are just a mile down the road so doesn't even use gas. We go as often as we can. Thanks for the chance! =)DeannaJo

I've made this before. I love stuff on the grill since it helps not heating up the kitchen using the stove.
Fire-Roasted Nectarines
2 cup(s) strawberries, hulled and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup(s) raspberries
1/3 cup(s) blueberries
2 tablespoon(s) sugar
2 teaspoon(s) finely chopped crystallized ginger
1 teaspoon(s) fresh lemon juice
Salt
4 medium ripe nectarines, cut in half and pitted
Nonstick cooking spray
I've done this w/ peaches as well.
Our favorite Summer budget outing is going to the Como Zoo, here in St. Paul. It's a donation-based zoo, so you can either get in for free (or next to nothing if you decide to drop a little something into their donation box). It's the cutest zoo and always so busy - definitely keeps the little boy entertained with either watching the animals or the people. :)
I just posted about your giveaway on my blog!! http://table-43.blogspot.com/2010/06/just-for-fun.html
Fruit Kabobs are always a hit no matter where you go. And they're so beautiful to look at too!! Here's a yummy recipe:

COCONUT DIP:
1-1/2 cups fat-free vanilla yogurt
4-1/2 teaspoons flaked coconut
4-1/2 teaspoons reduced-sugar orange marmalade
Directions:
Toss apple and pear with lemon juice. Divide fruit into 12 portions and thread onto wooden skewers. Combine dip ingredients in a small bowl; serve with the kabobs. Yield: 12 kabobs.
Our favorite summertime activity is going to the local splash-pad in town. Micah loves it and it's very budget-friendly to grab a lunch and go!
My favorite Summer time activity on a budget is to take me and my family to the pool and hang out for the day. I pack up all sorts of snacks, drinks and toys and just have fun. Of course all the drinks and snacks were paid for by using coupons! ; )

Low cal dessert~
Strawberry Shortcake
individual angel food cake with sliced strawberries and cool whip on top. You can use cool whip lite. This is my DD's favorite dessert.
Another low-cal treat is to freeze Yoplait Whips yogurt. Yummo! Key Lime is my favorite then the chocolate raspberry.
