You don't Need Money to have a Good Time

With our Pets, Negra & Doggie

Growing up we didn't have much money and I didn't have many toys like other children, but that situation never stopped me from having a good time. When I was 8 years old my father got me my first pocket knife.  I'd go out in the field to find the perfect fallen tree branches to carve art crafts, toy guns and swords. When I was 10 years old, I wanted to construct playing house for my siblings, but knew better than to ask for a set. Instead, I borrowed my father's axe and hand saw and went out into the woods. I cut down 3 or 4 young trees, divided each trunk into 6 foot sections and notched them out like lincoln logs and then built a great little fort with them. I used the tree branches to complete the roofing and even got it mostly water proof. My younger siblings enjoyed our playing house until the leaves dried out anyway. 

You don't need money to have a good time, just a little imagination and some basic tools.
