Want to try something that costs very little but is full of love and affection? Take the kid to the beach or the riverside, whichever is nearer. Go just before dawn or just before sunset, depending on what you can see from the beach or riverside. Sit down together somewhere nice and warm. And mosquito-free, too, if those pesky bugs are around. Watch the sunrise or sunset together. No words needed. The sunrise or sunset speaks volumes by themselves. It will be a memory that the two of you will cherish for years and years to come.
