Thrifty (FREE) fun entertainment

This Saturday we are going on a hike and a ferry ride. The only expense will be gas, unless we choose to not pack a lunch and grab a bite to eat somewhere. The hike is going to be amazing. It is up a bluff that overlooks a river. It is fall in my location and the trees are turning some awesome colors. I am hoping for some beautiful shots of my kids and the hubby....well me too. The ferry ride is more for the kids because I have been there a billion times but the kids have never gone. You drive your vehicle right onto it and it takes you across the lake/river. It is about 10 minutes one way. Oldest daughter is soooo excited about it, but doesn't get the concept of driving your car onto a boat. We'll see if she freaks out or not.

The bluff and surrounding area are jointly owned by the Nature Conservancy and the DNR so that is free and the ferry is also free. I love free family days.
