 		hi
 	
 	
 		have y'all been able to do much as a family these days
 	
 	
 		pardon me
 	
 	
 		have y'all been able to do much as a as a full family these days all of you
 	
 	
 		oh yes we've um been um
 		we've gone other you know all kinds of places we go out to dinner we take the kids to the park and um
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		you know whenever we he my husband has time off or something we take them to the zoo or we you know we we do everything we can possibly as a family
 	
 	
 		do you work outside the home
 	
 	
 		no i don't
 	
 	
 		yeah i don't either it makes a little bit easier i think that way
 	
 	
 		yeah it does and and then uh you know my husband enjoys spending time with the kids you know he'll he'll take them out just to be with them so he they can have time with him and
 	
 	
 		yeah
 		so you have a break too
 	
 	
 		right so and we uh
 	
 	
 		
 
 	
 	
 		we try to teach our kids as much as we can at home you know we have we try to spend like Monday nights we call it family home evening and
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		have our kids um
 		you know have little lessons with them and you know just see count see how things are going in our family and
 		you know teach them about their grandparents or something like that bring out pictures of them so they get to know them and
 		we just do all kinds of fun things like that and
 	
 	
 		uh we have family that's far away it sounds like you might too
 	
 	
 		yeah we do so they you know the only way they know their grandparents is by pictures so
 	
 	
 		yeah
 		right
 	
 	
 		and um
 	
 	
 		and phone calls that's about about it
 	
 	
 		yeah right and uh
 		you know they we you know we go to the park or we go in the backyard and
 		sit down and
 	
 	
 		that's what yeah that's what we mostly do pretty simple things especially since my youngest one is  excuse me only fourteen months she she's really getting to the age where she's playing and likes to go places
 	
 	
 		yeah
 		right
 		uh-huh yeah
 		and with you know me being at home and just having the one income you know you don't have this lot of extra money to to do a lot of
 		you know extra things so you you make more fun than you know you know the kids just think it's wonderful just maybe to go get an ice cream cone or
 	
 	
 		that that's right
 		oh that's a big thrill for them
 	
 	
 		yeah or um you know go get a bag of M and M's or something like that they they think that's a lot of fun so we just we try to spend as much time as we can we
 		you know our whole our whole weekends are divided are devoted to our children except for we might go out you know one evening or something but
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		during the day you know it's all devoted to our kids and they come go to church with us and
 	
 	
 		yeah that's true
 	
 	
 		so
 		yeah so
 	
 	
 		have um have you ever been to the Science no it's called the Science Place
 	
 	
 		yes yes that's what
 	
 	
 		we just we haven't lived here too long we went there couple weeks ago
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 		the kids thought that was wonderful
 	
 	
 		and uh
 		
 
 		oh yeah we i guess there's Science Place One and Science Place Two we've only been in i think it's Science Place Two
 	
 	
 		i is
 		i'm not sure which one we went into it was about a year or so ago when we went
 	
 	
 		the one we went in had um the thing that sticks out most in my mind is a like a kids place area that really seemed i mean they really seemed to go wild in there
 	
 	
 		uh-huh yeah
 		yeah
 		yeah they had a lot of fun in there and um there's uh there's some petting you know like uh
 		uh i think it's Owens Country Farms has a free petting you know like a farm that you can go to and the kids can pet animals and stuff
 	
 	
 		where's that
 	
 	
 		that's on Plano Road um  it's like in Richardson you go up Plano Road it's like a little bit past Campbell on Plano Road
 	
 	
 		uh-huh uh-huh
 	
 	
 		and that's a lot of fun they have tours going through there and
 	
 	
 		oh yeah
 	
 	
 		um the kids think that was a lot of fun too and
 	
 	
 		oh that does sound like fun it's a little bit of a ways
 	
 	
 		we take you know whenever we take them to Showbiz or they think it's wonderful just to go to McDonald's you know they don't go for the food they go for the to play around and
 	
 	
 		oh
 		
 
 		that's right
 	
 	
 		there's another place in Mesquite called Monkey Business
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		and it's a indoor fun park and it has a bunch of different rides for kids
 	
 	
 		that sounds fun too
 	
 	
 		and parents get in free and it's like during the week it's like five dollars admission for child all day
 	
 	
 		and and you said about about Plano and Campbell is the petting
 	
 	
 		the petting farm yeah
 	
 	
 		
 
 		that sounds fun i think maybe we'll try to do that
 	
 	
 		yeah
 		yeah and the one in Mesquite is um Scyene exit
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		and it it's uh the kids just had a wonderful time there they you know you just pay that admission and then all the the the rides are free you know they of course they have all the little video games and you know those little quarter rides you know to
 		and stuff like that but they thought that was a lot of fun you can have birthday parties there and
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		i think that was better than like Showbiz Pizza
 		because there's more for them to do
 	
 	
 		because they can just do you don't have to have tokens for everything yeah
 	
 	
 		yeah
 		right
 		so they had a lot of fun
 	
 	
 		that does sound like fun well i've gotten some good ideas from you
 	
 	
 		yeah i we try to do a lot of things as a family and you know inexpensively as possible so
 	
 	
 		definitely
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		well i think i don't know if we've done five minutes but i'm sure that'll be
 	
 	
 		yeah that'll be good yeah well it's good talking to you
