What Are Your Plans For Spring Break?

It's Spring Break here, and after only one day I'm already getting the “there's nothing to do mom”. Luckily I thought about the week the kids were going to be home ahead of time, and planned a few things to do that wouldn't break the bank. Monday the kids played outside with bubbles, but I know that won't last the whole week. We're also planning a couple of movie days with all the shades drawn to give it that movie like feel and a bag of microwave popcorn. Our favorite place to rent movies is from Redbox because we think it is such a great value; check here for more about Redbox.

We're also planning to purchase a membership to our local zoo (The Oklahoma City Zoo) this week which will give us access to the zoo for a full year. The upfront cost of the membership is $50, but if we didn't purchase the membership and we went as a family to the zoo, it would cost $32. The membership pays for itself on the second visit and we can go to the zoo anytime we want for the next year. Our zoo is open 362 days a year, has free parking, and allows any picnic items to be brought into the zoo (excluding glass containers). Since summer is almost here, I know that we'll really put the membership to use then.
