FREE (or really cheap) THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK pt. 4

School is out for Winter Break (I can almost hear your screams from here!)  so it is crucial to find some things to do with your kids.  Here is a run down of some free activities for the whole family.  And I apologize for a short list this week!  I have been traveling and trying to stay sane while riding in the car 4 hours each way with two small children.  If I come up with more things I will certainly pass them along!
