Plus many parks have low cost activities ($2.00) that kids can participate in. Fishing is another low cost fun activity.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04319452988995234341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733035893331842827.post-49710473638475805322010-06-17T08:10:25.212-04:002010-06-17T08:10:25.212-04:00I have to say I am glad you included the reading. ...I have to say I am glad you included the reading.
