Raising kids is expensive (we are pretty sure that the majority of our income goes towards granola bars, milk and activity equipment). Lincoln has so many activities and events and many are FREE, including all of the events listed below. So, you can do a fun activity with your family and save a bit of money-just think of all the granola bars that you can buy! ;) Enjoy these long, summer days and cool nights.
