We really enjoy spending time together as a family, especially after a long work week.  Friday evenings and Saturdays are always set aside for us to do something special – preferably with the least amount of money as possible.  I often look online for hiking spots and local parks for us to visit.  We even like to go on driving adventures and explore new towns and roads.  I feel like it is so important for us to do these things together as a family even when the children are young.  They learn early on how to appreciate family time, especially when you make it fun.

This is a photo gallery of our recent Saturday outing to a small nature preserve in Chappaqua, NY.  It had a man made boardwalk going through a swamp with several look outs, hiking paths, and wildlife.  We then ended up at a new park that we found on our way home.  Click on the “Show Picture List” below.  If you are visiting from Facebook – click on the title of this post to view the gallery on my blog.
