Going once, going twice....sold on more family time!

This past weekend in our attempts to have FUN for free and be frugal, we had a first! We went up to Salt Lake to an auction....at a real auction house. The now defunct Music School was selling all their stuff so we thought we would check it out. We didn't buy anything, but it was exciting. There was a lot of energy and it was pretty fun. It was ebay, only live!
We were close to the Utah State Capital so we went to the Utah visitor's center and walked around the State Capital. The boys had never been, I had been there one other time for a rally 14 or 15 years ago. It was so great to just spend time with the boys and walk around the grounds and see a truly beautiful building. I am sad to say that we really don't do enough things as a family. So after this weekend, we made a commitment to plan more excursions that cost little or no money. Stay tuned!
