Do you know what the hardest part about being a parent is? It’s expensive.
Whenever my family plans an outing we have to carefully plan since we know that we’ll be paying a bit just to get in the door sometimes, and that’s with just two kids. We went to Jurassic Quest and spent $80 just to get inside. We were flirting with the possibility of having only one parent go with our oldest child while the baby stayed home with the other parent.
