Creative Frugal Funtimes...

So, when traveling with Loverbrains it is important to be creative when planning fun outings in unfamiliar cities...or familiar ones... We enjoy being FRUGAL too!

Yesterday, we went to Bass Pro World and the Mall (entrance= FREE)...They had their picture taken with the Elk...the grizzly bear picture was NOT happening.  Lubby was terrified.
They rode all the "monster trucks"....
They posed with the model children...they were cuter...
They rocked and watched the fish swim...they practiced their counting...FYI:  it's hard to count things that swim around...
They practiced their deer hunting skills...they need practice... (BONUS: small children do not require quarters...they are too little to really play and think the demo is the real thing)
Lubby wanted to take this one home...very shnazee!!
We spun pennies in the cone spinner thingy...These are SO fun...(= 6 cents)
They played on the playground... (about 1 hour)
They made and delivered many no calorie ice cream cones to their MomE.... (~1/2 hour)
They danced to the CD tunes...60s, 70s, and 80s!  Woohoo!
WAY funnier with sunglasses on...hehehe!
We got front row seats to the fish feeding event. (FREE)  We had popcorn and juice (how do you spell e.x.t.o.r.t.i.o.n. = $3)...Future Note to MomE...bring your own snack and water.
The fish are fed live little minnows and worms and shrimp...They leap out of the water...It's WONDERFUL fun...unless you're a minnow, of course.  Poor things...sniff, sniff!
This guy was feeding the fish...He seemed a little embarrassed by all the cheering and laughing...I don't think he thought he'd be SO popular when he applied for a job at Bass Pro World.  Hehehe!
