I would gladly put the shovel away and come stay with you for the winter! :)<br /><br />Centralillinoisian there's no way I could take either of my boys or hubby to the animal shelter. I already have 4 dogs, 5 cats, 1 bird, tons of koi and 9 chickens. I wouldnt get out of there without another pet to love. We usually have a picnic or two during the summer, and we used to go to the parks' playgrounds. My kids are too old now though. :)Lisa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08117238535383493210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507019520537221461.post-2074609323490163032009-05-07T11:08:00.000-05:002009-05-07T11:08:00.000-05:00When my son was home, we would play in the yard an...When my son was home, we would play in the yard and would go to the local animal shelter. We also would go to the local and state parks in our county (we have 4 total) and hike, picnic or just play at the playgrounds they have. We also went on a guided tour one of the parks had on trees, and collected leaves.Just call me Yankeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671355762196074626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507019520537221461.post-38186213240180575402009-05-06T21:19:00.000-05:002009-05-06T21:19:00.000-05:00The tour sounds very interesting.

We are in it everyday. <br /><br />We do most of our frugal activites visting gardens, zoos, olive farms, etc. in thw winter while you are shoveling!American Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091457436415496408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507019520537221461.post-74169039026436817012009-05-06T19:45:00.000-05:002009-05-06T19:45:00.000-05:00Camping is fun.

I think it would be funner in a tent. When we did go camping, we always ate at campsite. It's WAY cheaper.Lisa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08117238535383493210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507019520537221461.post-28262456799772659202009-05-06T18:09:00.000-05:002009-05-06T18:09:00.000-05:00The Miami Co. tour sounds interesting!

Equipment can be bought inexpensively at garage sales, and with care, can last many seasons.<br /><br />We stay in state parks or Corps. of Engineers parks. They have reasonable camping fees and there is always more to do in the parks than just camp. Most of the additional activities are free.<br /><br />Meals are cooked at camp and are much less expensive than going out to eat. I just work the camping trips into my regular menu plan, so the meals really don't cost us any extra at all.Annie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123644833186800503noreply@blogger.com
