What do you enjoy doing most as a family?
For us it's hiking. We love nature and the exercise is great too! It's kind of tough to do right now since we have tons of snow but we like to hike from spring right through to early winter.
We love going places. Short trips, long trips, day trips to museums or fairs or amusement areas.

We like to do that too Mary but around here it seems like everything costs a fortune! I've tried to find affordable places but they just don't exist or if they do, you get what you pay for KWIM?
That's the truth, Danielle!
One thing that will help us out a lot is that for Christmas I asked for, and received, family memberships to both the Oklahoma City Zoo and the Museum of Natural History, so we can go as many times as we want this year and it doesn't cost us anything to get in. That is very helpful! If we can just keep the kids out of the gift shops they should be pretty cheap visits! :giggle

:yup Us too. We love going to different places. Sometimes we just get in the car and go for a drive...anywhere. :)
I also wanted to add we are fortunate to live in an area where are close to the ocean, close to mountains, close to alot of different places where we can see different things. :)

We really enjoy camping as a family. We also have season passes to the local amusement park, so we go there as often as possible.

Well... we like going on trips, sure, or to interesting places. The interesting places are limited around here. So the best things we do as a family are the occasional neighborhood walks, going out to dinner, and board game nights.

We have a few. Camping when it is warm enough is at the top of the list and anything outside. We love going outside and playing with the dog or playing on the swingset with the kids or playing baseball or taking walks. Things like that.
Then going fun places in the area the zoo, the aquarium, various museums and parks etc.
And lastly. watching movies as a family. We try to have a family movie night every weekend.

Definitely winter sports. Skiing and snowboarding. Brian, Kara and I are avid skiiers, and Kaleb and Rachel are excellent boarders.
Other than that -- we like to travel, and take the kids with us whenever we can. Case in point. Mexico in less than 1 month:party

We like to go to the zoo or just play outside. Whenever I can actually get Eric outside. ;)
