26 Free Outings With Your Kids!

My kids are very active and get bored easy. In our house boredom means trouble, fighting, and mischief. I try my hardest to get the kids out of the house often. Taking the kids out is a great opportunity to teach social skills and tolerance. When out and about we meet all kinds of different personalities.
