Family Fun

Our philosophy:
Family is a top priority in our home.  In fact, it is second only to our marriage as our marriage is the foundation of our family.  We focus on really living in the present and enjoying each other and our experiences.  It is our belief that by making our family a priority in our and thus our children's lives, we will be building a lifelong wealth of values and trust with our children.

Family fun how-to's:
We dedicate one day or part of one day each week to family fun.  Family fun is an activity or day that we all do and spend together.  We do not invite or allow anyone else to attend our weekly family fun date except family.  Our activities and days are pretty simple.  I do some research in the local paper and Our Kids Magazine to find out what is happening around town.  Then my family and I discuss our options and plan our day.  Sometimes, we go to the park, have a picnic, and just plan.  Other times we go on a bigger excursion/day trip to another city ...  San Antonio is about an hour away for us and they have a great ZOO!  We also enjoy roller skating, fishing, theater, seeing movies, and trying something new.  This week we are going canoeing -- weather permitting -- and to the David Crockett exhibit at the Texas Memorial Museum.  It is really so easy to incorporate into your week and the memories you are creating for yourself and your children will last lifetimes.  If you are a super busy two working  parent family (and most of us are in some way), then try family fun once a month.
