Quality time for Free

On of our goals, if that's what you can call it, this year is to spend time with the boys each week and it not cost us a penny.  Now, sometime we do spend money like this past weekend when we ran the Nashville Zoo 5K and went to the Circus.  However, that same weekend we all cuddled up on the couch, watched Brave and ate popcorn.  We were even making memories then.  What I will remember is that Noah is an M&M hog and ate all the candy, leaving Aiden and I none.  You can't blame a boy who knows what he likes.
 
There are a few other things we've done this year, like hike at Dunbar Cave.  The weather was a beautiful that weekend, which was unseasonable for January.  We took Rocky with us and he's not real great on the lease so that was interesting but we all enjoyed the time outdoors.  Steve ran the trails while the boys and I hiked them.  Aiden and Noah had both been there before so they were proud to show me the way. 
 
Our goal is that our boys will look back and have fond memories of their time with their family.  That when they are older they will always want to come home and that hanging out with their parents may even be cool.  I will keep posting some of the things we do so that you guys can hold us accountable.  Having fun doesn't have to  cost and arm and leg, it's the quality time together that will never be forgotten.
