My and my family want something fun to do this summer but we can't think of anything.
Answer
How about you go to the park and have a picnic and play some frisbee or volleyball. Pack a basket with some sandwiches and drinks, blankets and a net and you can spend a day laying around, eating and playing some games.
Someone suggested camping, but that can get expensive. I know it sounds cheesy and all, but a couple of my friends go "camping" with their families in their backyards. Set a a couple tents, get a grill going, make some smores, ghost stories, and other camping activities.
Another camping related thing could be going to a local National Park on the free no admission days. The upcoming days are July 18-19, 2009, and August 15-16, 2009. Here's a link for more information:

Also look around for "free" no admission days to your local museums or zoos.
You and your family could also do a family movie night or have a themed movie marathon, a friend of mine invited me to her family's 80's movie night and surprisingly it was a awesome time, we watched movies the whole night.
Another idea that's pretty fun, but hard work nonetheless is to have a yard/garage sale, it'll be a bonding activity and it'll get you guys some cash too.
Something else would be to volunterr together, I know it seems lame and all but most of the time you meet some good people, have some free food and help others. Me and mother has volunteered a couple times together and it was a blast.
Also look into your town sponsored events, possibly a festival of some sort. This past weekend my town had a "Gold Strike Festival" (I live in Colorado) and they had multiple performers and concerts throughout the past few days; all for free.

Hotels in Branson missouri that are cheap?

My family and I are planning on going to Branson in July sometime and I was wondering what are some cheap but nice hotels around...
Answer
Better than hotels.com....Expedia.com is better.
I've been to Branson MANY times.
A good way to get CHEAP stay and show tickets is to sign up for a time-share sales presentation. Yeah, you gotta suffer through 2-hours of high-pressure sales tactics but hold your ground if your not interested and you'll still get your show tickets and cheap lodging.
If that's not your cup of tea...
Depending on where you want to go and do, EconoLodge Branson West is furthest from downtown Branson, but closer to Silver Dollar City. I paid less than $70/night...and it's not the greatest place either.
Howard Johnsons is close to downtown without being on the strip. It's high on a hill near the wax museum. I stayed there in early June a few years ago and got a room for less than $80/night and was VERY nice.
I heard Mountain music Inn is nice too. My parents stay there a lot.
The cheapest place to stay would be to camp out (pop up camper or tent) on Table Rock Lake at Baxter campgrounds.
I grew up camping on the lake; as an adult, I stay in the hotels because I don't feel like hauling all my camping gear 4.5 hours just for two nights.
As for restaurants...you can't go wrong with Ruby Tuesdays and Cracker Barrel. Dockers is a terrible place. My husband and I got sick on Thanksgiving food there. We later heard from many locals the place was bad. I think they were closed for good the last time I was in Branson
Good luck and have fun.
