Free Fun

I am always on the lookout for good free fun, and thankfully there has been lots of it for us here this summer.  One weekend there was a festival at the local university, where there were all kinds of bouncehouses and kiddie rides and activities for the kids to do, all for free.  I didn't bring my camera, so this crappy phone pic is all we got.  
 They had another free children's festival there a few weeks later so I took the kiddos again.  Here is Marissa being too wussy to go in the bounce house with Shane.  And a good shot of chunky baby legs.
 But she got to go on this airplane ride that he was too tall for.
 The county fair was free for kids 5 and under.  I walked up to the booth and said, "They are all under 5.  Wow, for once that is a good thing!"  There were of course lots of animals there, rides, games, and face painting.  When I asked Marissa what she wanted, she said "a shark!"  I tried asking her if she wanted a butterfly or something like that, but she was adamant about having a shark.  The lady had never gotten that request so she did her best.  Marissa thought she was pretty cool.  
And Shane picked a tiger.  And roared at everyone on our way out.

 And we live by a Chic-Fil-A now!  You know we dressed up like cows to get our free meals on Cow Appreciation Day.  They also have free kids meals on Wednesdays with purchase of an adult meal- I might just be taking them when Josh is working.

That is really funny Marissa wanted a shark. Our kids would really get along:) Shane is the cutest tiger. He looks a lot like Kayson, for a minute i thought it was Kayson.

Love it! All about free, fun family time! My favorite is the shark and Shane roaring at everyone. I agree with you, our boys would get along great! :)
