Holiday.

Holidays have typically been filled with spending time with family, throwing barbecue's for everyone, little presents for our niece and nephews, parades, fireworks, food at the carnival and on and on. This year we took a much needed break from past traditions. My brother took his family on a vacation so that was helpful for our plan although we missed seeing the excitement on the kids faces during the day. We did attend the car show in our town, walked through the carnival and the art/business expo, and saw fireworks twice. The total cost of our entire holiday weekend: $2. We did it! We did break down and buy cold beverages when the nearly 100 degree heat got to us. We had an amazing time just hanging out and spending time together and with our dogs.
