Friday Field Trip #2

This post could actually be titled Free Friday or even Free Fat Friday! Today while Bennett and Dave were up at Cub Day Camp we discovered a great splash pad at the Brandi Fenton Memorial Park --it's free and so much fun! Even though there were A LOT of kids there, there was plenty of water to go around! Sarah was a little put out by all the kids and water, so she spent her time at the little park right by the splash pad -- close enough for me to keep an eye on everyone. The kids gave it 5 out of 5 stars, but said it would have been more fun if Bennett was with us. I think we'll go again next week so Bennett can experience the splash pad . . . and we'll invite friends,too!




After the Splash Park we found our way to Krispy Kreme Donuts to celebrate National Donut Day -- they were giving away FREE donuts! Don't worry Bennett, we saved one for you :)

I just have to interject here that I love freebies, and I love that Tucson has LOTS of freebies in the summer time. The public library has a summer reading program every year. The kids keep track of how many hours they read and are awarded little prizes for every 6 hours (or 10 if you're doing the teen program like Emma is this year). Our goal every year is to get the free Breakers Water Park passes by doing the extra credit! Then there are free (mostly kid friendly) movies every weekday morning at Tower Theaters throughout the summer -- we decided to go on Tuesdays since it's so much fun to say "It's Tower Tuesday!" I don't know if other places do this or not -- they probably do -- I'm just not aware of it. BUT, it makes me to happy to be able to entertain the kids for FREE!

I love that you found a splash zone water park. I will have to find out where it is. That's just the type of place to go in the summertime! And, I had NO IDEA that it was National Doughnut Day...I would have DEFINITELY celebrated!!!
