Yesterday we decided to go to the Zoo, which normally could be a fairly expensive ordeal. We, however, managed to go with no cost aside from a couple small things we got the girls in the gift shop. How did we accomplish this great and wondrous feat? Let me explain :).
Now, it does help that we had free tickets to get in, but a lot of money can be spent on drinks and food. Instead of buying that $5.00 burger and $3.00 beverage for everyone, we decided to have a family picnic. The Zoo here doesn't allow you to bring in your own food, but they do give pass outs so you can go back out to your car. There, we opened up the back of the van, sat down, and ate our packed lunch. It was actually a really cool experience. We were the only ones out there, so it was quiet and we were able to sit in peace and enjoy our food and our company without distractions. I tell you what, that sure beats fighting lines and crowds of people to get overpriced food. Not dealing with other people's bratty kids is a plus to :).
