Default Is it a challenge to find inexpensive things for your family to do?

We go to the library, rent movies, things like that but it does get old after awhile.

Do you have trouble coming up with things that you can all do together without spending a fortune?

In the fall we go to all the fall festivals, we have two at the local ski resorts that are awesome. They have free activities for the entire family.

We hit all the local state parks. We enjoy hiking and riding bikes.

We also thinking about traveling to the Smithsonian museums which are free. The parking is a little pricey but would be an inexpensive trip overall.

Yes , we definatly do. It wasen't so bad when the kids were real young, but now with the older ones the free activities are that fun to them anymore.

Yes!! We dont live where there are things like festivals and what not all the time. Anything to do like museums are over an hour drive away. I did get us a family membership to our local Rec center so hopefully this winter we will use it to go swimming and play basketball.

No, but we just have a toddler who is entertained seeing the garbage truck drive down the street My husband is very creative coming up with fun things to do, and we live in an area with a lot of outdoor activities available.
