Fun and Free (or at least cheap) in Fredericksburg, VA

Well,  tomorrow we are going to try swimming in the Rapahanock River!  It's free... which makes it $450 less than a membership to the county pool!!  So, that makes it SOLD!  We had considered putting a pool in the yard since we have 3 acres and the space to do it, but decided that between maintenance and chemicals we would pass, (not to mention the cost of actual pool).  I have informed the family that nothing else will go into our yard that doesn't produce something for us to use ourselves or sell to someone else to use.  We have several chickens that give us eggs, sometimes enough to share with neighbors too.  Other than that, everything here is a consumer, not a producer!  We have considered a goat, but I'm pretty sure I know who will end up milking it within two weeks... me!  The place to go for lots of activities for parents to do with kids is a local publication Fredericksburg Parents. fredericksburgparent.net 

Check back tomorrow for a review of our river experience.
