making family memories

Last Saturday, we had a spontaneous family outing. It involved a

picnic, (homemade chicken salad sandwiches, bananna bread, fruit, ice tea, all spread on a beauitiful table cloth, compliments of homemaker Hannah)

fishing, paddle boats, playing in the creek, walking, seeing wildlife, history lessons, a country drive, and more. All for free. Well, almost free, the gas was $20 and the paddle boat rental was $1.75 We could have all squished in the car instead of the truck and done it for less gas.

We first went to our church and cleaned and touched up paint and did some more maintenance, then drove to our local state park. State parks are wonderful free entertainment.

This is probably our favorite summertime activity and is afforable.  How is that for a frugal Friday tip?  Now if we could just find a way to go to the Sherrifs Rodeo next week for free
