or nearly free. i think we all know how much i love free. last year, super mommy extraordinaire lesley worked up a calendar of all the summer activities happening around town so that she could refer to it while she enjoyed the summer with her two girls. she was kind enough to share some of those activities with me. in turn, she inspired me to get a plan early and to pay it forward by sharing it with you. the following is a list of free or nearly free, family friendly events happening in the omaha area for may + june,. some require registration, so please check the links for details. also, please share any events i missed in the comment section and i can update the list. i'll come out with another for july + august sometime in june.

events happening all the time//places to check out....
omaha community centers offer all sorts of classes, open swim, & open gym time. their swim classes are some of the cheapest i have seen.
story time + summer reading programs at the library. our gretna children's library's wee read runs every other wednesday all year and is so wonderful.
farmer's markets are great places to take a family walk and perhaps try something new. the downtown papillion + aksarben ones are especially nice since they are near playgrounds.
free family flicks at aksarben cinema during the summer. every tuesday morning at 10 am, i believe.
the slides at the gene leahy mall
volunteer with your older kids at the heart ministry center
splash pads are city parks that also have an area were there is a super duper sprinkler system. hendrix loves the one in papillion since he gets to hang with his cousins at the same time.
stormchaser games at werner park often have family nights and 1/2 price burger nights. tickets run $5-15/per person. (kind of a splurge for us, but fun to do a couple if times of year)
indoor play area at the westroads mall
friday + sunday music at soaring wings winery
