In our family we feel it is important to spend time together as a family. We like to find things to do together that we will all enjoy. With the way the economy is right now and being on a budget we are always looking for cheap fun things to do together!
That is why home depot is such a great place to go!
Every 1st Saturday of the month they have a special project that kids can come and do. Usually it involves building something using tools, nails, paint etc...
This month was extra special because they had the fire department there doing demonstrations, giving out junior fire hats and some of the kids were even allowed to help put out some fires!
After the fire fun we headed inside and got our projects. And of course it was something fire related. We got to build fireboats!!
The boys were excited because they were allowed to use hammers!
Derek of course needed a little help from Mom!
Tons of kids show up to the home depot on these Saturday mornings and the best part is it is all free!! They provide everything you need!
They even give the kids little "home depot" orange aprons to wear just like the employees wear!
Once they finish a project they get a pin for that project that goes on their apron!
What a fun way to spend a Saturday morning!
They were even giving out free little bags of popcorn made from one of those old fashioned popcorn makers!!
Thanks Home Depot for providing us with some free family fun time!!

I didn't know Home Depot did that! So cool! How did Derek do? What age is old enough to enjoy it?
Jessie - Derek did good but he needed a lot of help still. We didn't exactly want to give him free reign with the hammer!! :) Marshall is probably getting old enough that he would enjoy building something with you!
