So far, they've done the following:<br />-A few family parties (my extended family all lives near my parents)<br />-Guitar lessons (my dad teaches them)<br />-Gym outings (Planet Fitness offers free memberships to teens this summer, so there happens to be one near my parents)<br />-Mountain biking<br />-Bowling<br />-Trail building/maintenance. My dad is very involved in the mountain bike community, and plans large trail maintenance work parties. You ride in, and then groom the trails (saw logs, clear debris, etc). There is usually a little party/celebration afterward, with people contributing food. The boys love it. They've done 2-3 this summer, at Mount St. Helens<br />-Today, they left for Disneyland.

This is our first year of letting our kids travel alone. We've also learned to pay for "premium" economy. Otherwise, they have no status (I do when we're all flying together), so they board the flight last, and then there is no room for their bags. However, they are teens, and just wander the aisle, looking for a spot. Now, I pay for premium economy (which, is typically about the same price as checking a bag) & that way, they board early, have time to put their bags up, etc. <br /><br />For M, he needed basically a new wardrobe! It would be visible on me, but I could fit into most of my clothes for sure.

Me, 20 pounds is barely noticeable. I think making parents but gate passes to ensure their minor children are safe and secure is just a mean money grab. You'd already have to pay for parking since not just dropping off unless another driver just drove in circles.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-39611245632371490602022-06-24T17:35:47.991-07:002022-06-24T17:35:47.991-07:00You had a great frugal week.
