Freebies(or almost)

As the weather gets nice, I start dreaming about taking our family somewhere exciting for a vacation. It always sounds like fun but time/money restricts us. When we have free weekends or holidays we spend them around here or with our families. Sometimes I still think of all the things that would be "more fun" to do even around home like taking the kids to the movies, to dinner, to a carnival, and other things like that. Those things are fun, but as we've tried to stick to our budget, we've found ourselves still coming up with plenty of fun. Our kids don't know the difference and we still make some great memories. In the last month we have gone 4-wheeling, horse back riding, made homemade pizza together, swimming(we have a membership to our gym/pool through Jared's work), a city parade, to the temple grounds, to the Shoshone Falls, out for $.59 ice cream cones and playing at Artic Circle. I love my little family and that we had so much fun doing such simple things! Here are some pics of some of what we've been up to!
