I can't afford expensive trips but boy do we have fun!

I never claim to be a mom that has a lot of money. In fact, I am broke. I am blessed with a dad that is letting me and Booger live with him while I go to school. He doesn't require me to work, which is nice.
While I may not have money, the rare times that I do, I try to make sure that my son has fun. We may only go somewhere "expensive" a few times a year, but I try to make sure Booger has a blast when we go. Here is a picture from each outing we have had since moving back to Ohio in 2011.

Sharon Woods 2011. Only $3 to get in but he got to pet a pet iguana.

Khron Conservatory 2012 (Dad paid for us to get in since he went with us)

Union Terminal 2012 (Dad paid for us to get in since he went with us)

Cincinnati Zoo-- Summer 2012

Cincinnati Zoo-- Fall 2012 (brother and sister-in-law paid for Booger to get in)

Cub-O-Ree 2012 (Scout thing and I didn't have to pay for the camping the night before since we didn't camp over night)

Kids Lego Fest 2013 (pretty pricey, but totally worth it and my brother went with us)

Newport Aquarium 2013 (sharks behind him. can't see them very well)

Kings Island 2013 (for school so I got in about $30 cheaper than normal)

St. Rita Fest 2013 (another thing for school)

Cub-O-Ree 2013 (Scout thing and I didn't have to pay for the camping the night before since we didn't camp over night)

Lego Movie. (This day was actually IHop for breakfast, Lego Movie, then Orange Leaf to end the day off)

New place we found. Pogo Play. $10 for him to get in so I try to take him once or twice a month

Union Terminal 2014 (Free Friday. Didn't have to pay for anything except parking!!)

While I would love to be able to afford the extravagant trips, like Disney or long vacations, I know that all it takes is spending time with me that makes Booger happy. It doesn't matter if I take him during a "free admission" day, if my dad pays, or I wait until I have a little extra money. Booger gets to spend time with me and I get to watch my "not so little" boy act like the kid he is, smile this my heart is full, and laugh his little ass off. I love my outings with Booger even if the can't stand being around people I don't know.
