Day Trip Week

This week was the first one all summer that wasn't filled with activities, so I decided to take a day trip each day with the kids.  I chose in-expensive/free activities.  I spent a total of $16 for all three of us.
Monday - Fort Wayne Children's Zoo 
We have a zoo pass, so our admission was free.  I also already had a ride pass.  We did spend $2 to feed the goats and $2 to feed the giraffes.  We packed a picnic lunch.  We spent all morning at the zoo, ate lunch, and then went back into the zoo.  It was a beautiful, warm day.

Tuesday - Main Library

Tuesday was a rainy day, so we spent the morning at the Allen County Main Library.  The kids had never been to that branch.  They loved it.  

Wednesday - Leo-Cedarville Park

On Wednesday morning I tutored, so after lunch we went to Leo-Cedarville Park. We timed our trip just right.  We left right before it began to rain.

Thursday - Carmike Cinema & Parkview Park

On Thursday mornings Carmike offers $4 movie tickets.  Each ticket includes a small bag of popcorn and a small drink.  We saw The Croods, which wasn't a spectacular movie, but the kids enjoyed being in the movie theater anyway.  After the movie we went across the street to Parkview Park, had a picnic lunch, and played.

Friday - Georgetown Library

Lilly has speech on Friday mornings, so we planned to do an afternoon activity.  We originally planned to go to the splash pad.  However, it was a little too cold to play in the water.  We decided to to stock up on more library books and get the kids' prizes for finishing their first round of reading in the summer reading program.

It was a great week!  These kids are so much fun regardless what we do.
