Everybody Likes Free Stuff

Last night we got a call from this company that said if we came to Bear Lake and heard their 90 minute spiel we would get a free trip to San Diego, including 4 star hotel, round trip tickets, and a $60 gift card for restaurants there. So of course we go check it out. It was a place that sale something real similar to Timeshares. It was actually really cool. You pretty much pay a certain price then you get free vacations for the rest of your life, plus you can pass it on to your kids and they never have to pay anything-they just get free vacations to all over the world. And the places you stay are never a hotel, they are very nice 2 and 3 bedroom condos. The price of this really wasn't bad at all, but we are a poor little family and decided against spending money we don't have. But, we still get the free trip to California!!! We will probably go in January some time.

When we got back from Bear Lake, Andy went to work and I took the kids to a child's health and wellness fair. It was actually really fun. They had puppet shows where the kids could brush the puppets teeth. They got all kinds of free, toothbrushes, coloring books, food, balloons, and stickers. The police and firefighters were there teaching the kids how to be safe. And the police department took pictures and gathered info. to create a profile on each kid. They send it in so if your child ever gets lost or anything they get the info. right out and every police station has it (hopefully we will never need that, but its good to do anyway). They had people dressed up like the Incredibles, Spiderman, and Shreck. They also had doctors doing free check-ups and dentists looking at teeth and there were rides there! Maddie had fun and learned a lot! What a great thing for the community to do, all for free.

There was so much going on this is the only picture I got.

These are of Maddie playing with her friend last night:

If you can't tell, this is Maddie and Maya singing "Ballerina" a song they made up. This is what they do when they play. They pretend they are Cinderella and they make up songs and dances about princesses and things. It very funny to hear what they come up with some times.
