Jonathan and I have decided to have one family outing a month that doesn't cost much if anything at all. This outing is for the whole family including grandma, my brother, and my sister and her family. It allows us to take the kiddos out without spending an arm and a leg.
So, last Saturday we went to Blue Spring State Park. It costs $6 to park your car and the rest is free. Since we have a mini van, we spent less than $1 per person, which come on, who can complain.
We had brought our bathing suits 'cause we were ready to cool off in the spring, which by the way we didn't know at the time that it is 72 degrees year round. To many that is nothing, but to me it was like ice. Being the wimp that I am, I only stuck my feet in. Jonathan tried being the brave one and jumped in. He was swiming vigorously..."Jonathan why are you swimming so fast?" To this he responded, "it makes the pain go away." We couldn't help but crack up.
So, to cut it short. We walked around, took the kids to the park, and went to a small museum that they have on the grounds. And had a really nice time.

Here are a few of the pictures I took when we first go there.
Here's my mom, my daughter, Jonathan, my sister, my nephew, and my bro-in-law.
Here's my sister with her husband and son...
Grandma & Bella - She was having the time of her life, both of them were.
Aunty & Bella looking at something that Bella was pointing at. I have no clue what it was, but she was very excited about whatever it was. She loves her aunty!
Jonathan & Bella - Daddy's Girl
My nephew - Isn't he such a cutie!?!
Here, Bella found a leaf. For some reason she loves picking up leaves whenever she finds one. I had to put the sequence of these, because I just love her facial expressions, they're so funny and cute.
Jonathan & Bella again, I ran in front to capture a picture from both angles. I just love these two!!!
My nephew spotted a squirrel and went running after it. 
The squirrel ran away...
And mom went running after him. He got caught, lol.
