Last week the four of us were able to enjoy a Grand Rapids Griffins Hockey game, completely free (well, plus $8 to park), compliments of the library. Did you know libraries do this?! This is a new revelation for me. When I went to pick them up from the library, the librarian passed me over four genuine tickets with a face value of $16 each. She could have handed me a $50 bill and I would have been almost as thrilled!
I don't know what I was more excited about, the game or the free tickets. Yeah, probably the free tickets. That and a fun excuse for the four of us to go out mid-week. Not to mention, we live an amazing ten minutes from the stadium. After living my entire life in the spraaaawled suburbs of Chicago where nothing is ten minutes away, this is nothing short of miraclous.
Chuck Jr. and III enjoyed the game, I enjoyed them enjoying the game, and Nolan, well, Nolan requested to go home and go to bed. Crazy kid.
So we wandered around and entertained ourselves with the stadium camera.
If you don't live in our fabulous city, check your local library to see if they offer cultural passes. It just might be worth the ask.
So glad you are finding so much fun to do in Grand Rapids. Looking forward to the butterfly exhibit soon!!!
ReplyDeleteHA! that is great. your 10 mins to a whole new world up there... i like Nolan's appreciation for his bed! who knew libraries could be a source for family entertainment :) ps i like seeing you in a pic for a change!
ReplyDelete:) I searched to see what libraries offered in VA, but couldn't figure out which library is yours. You might be able to sneak into an art museum cost free!
