I like the party idea and the skating idea.  Going to a concert might be too pricey for 13 year olds.  But if you like museums, that's a great way to spend an afternoon.  I suggest doing somehting you both like, doesn't cost a lot of money, and gives lots of opportunities to laugh, converse and have a great time.  How about taking a walk to a local park to play tennis or basketball?

Ask your child what THEY want to do.... There are cheap things like a community pool, museums, $1 movies... and there are free things like parks, library etc.  Just be sure to ask, because at 8 yrs old they should have MAJOR input on what to do for the summer and it makes ANYTHING more exciting when they get to pick.

Ocean City, MD!!  Boy, that brings back memories!  I now live in the chicago area, but I grew up a local near OC... spent many summers working and hanging out there.  Lots of fun.\n\nThe mainstay tourist attractions are, of course, located on the boardwalk.  I always enjoyed the games and rides.  One place in particular your kids might like is the nations oldest operating merry-go-round.  Its located right inside "playland", I seem to remember it being called.  Its right at the begining of the boardwalk as you come in by the inlet parking.  Another place of interest would be Ripley's Believe it or Not.  Really neat place, and hard to miss.  Its on the boardwalk with a big model great white shark sticking out of it.  Also, during the peak season, you can watch artisans build these amazing, elaborate sand castles right on the beach along the boardwalk.  If you think your kids might like mini-golf, there are some really amazing mini-golf courses along coastal highway.\n\nYou will also want to sample some of the boardwalks' food fair! Be sure and get some Thrasher's french fries, there is usually a long line, but its worth it.  Dumser's dipped ice cream, Dollies Candies and The Dough Roller Pizza stand are also great places to grab a quick bite while you browse the boardwalk.  Some good restaurants would be Philips Crab house, BJ's on the Water and Secrets.\n\nWell, I hope that helps... Have a great time!

How about a board game, like Scrabble or Monopoly?\n\nOr are you looking for OUTDOOR things to do?  If so, then how about hide-n-go seek, or playground (swings, carousel, monkey bars, slides)?

Take a short trip to a place of interest near you - a lake, a historic place, or even just a small town you've never been to.  There are lots of things to explore out there.  Pack a sandwich and spend the day.  It won't cost a lot and you may find something very satisfying out there!

tolga party (everyone is dressed in sheets... and for fun you could be wearing one with sponge bob or some dumb superhero you loved as a kid) pizza is always a favorite even though it is NOT greek :)... give a prize for the best dressed (cash gets people's attention... maybe $20)\nOR....\nif some of your friends are also old enough to drive have a scavanger hunt. each car has 4 kids in it and each car has a set of riddles they must solve and drive to in order to pick up proof that they found the answer... if you do this one, you can do the whole CAR theme and serve anything you want to eat... (probably like pizza hehehe)

In my town, be it small, it is very full w/ great places to go and things to do.  We have the Mars Cheese Castle, the Dairlyland Greyhound Park, a great miniature golf course that is adjacent to an amusement area.  We have the lake with countless parks and a really nice museum that is generally free.  Even the locals like visiting all these places.
