hi Diana
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
be good was it good talking to you i had a good i really appreciate your suggestions
oh no problem well take care bye bye
okay bye bye
