Days are longer, temperatures are at their highest and the kiddos at home want something&nbsp;to do. Sure, you can take them to Schlitterbahn’s, Sea World, or Fiesta Texas, but with gas prices sky-rocketing through the roof, the entrance fees alone can tear a gaping hole right through that wallet. Which is why for this month’s blog article I have compiled a list of affordable and family-friendly activities to help build great fun-filled memories all summer long, including a couple of great Father’s Day outings! <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
