A fun and frugal weekend

After traveling last weekend, everyone was ready to take it easy. We wanted to get out and enjoy nature this weekend, and were thinking about taking a short trip (less than 2 hours) to a state park. However, on Friday evening, we pulled out our atlas, and found a nature center that was only 15 miles away!
We decided to head over there on Saturday morning, and had a lot of fun. If it hadn’t been for the humidity, we would have stayed longer (our bassett hound is a trooper, but she doesn’t do well in high heat combined with humidity). We plan on going back soon, since there is another trail that we can take the kid on.
While we were at the nature center, I picked up a brochure for a local self-sustaining farm. We’re big on local and organic foods - come to find out, we’ve been living about 12 miles away from this farm, complete with a store, that sells in bulk! I checked out this place over the weekend, and was really impressed. The prices for the bulk food are really affordable, and some items that have been treats for our family, such as quinoa, are now going to become more of a staple. I also like the idea of supporting a local establishment.
We also met up with some friends this weekend, and our kids had the chance to play together. They get along really well, and it was nice catching up. On Sunday, my husband met up with a friend to play disc golf. He took the kid, so I got to sleep in. It was awesome!
Other than groceries, we didn’t spend any money this weekend. We had a great time, though! What about you?
