Kids: the cutest little bills you'll ever pay

"Have kids," they said. "Kids are great," they said. Okay, there's no denying how awesome it is to have a mini version of ourselves running around Boise. But let's be honest: few things in life are as expensive as raising tiny humans.

From the day they're born, to the moment you're standing in line at Dick's to pay $400 for your son's baseball bat as you're wearing LulaRoe yoga pants that went out of style five years ago, parenting is a pricey business, y'all.

I have friends who are still paying their kids' delivery room bills off 10+years later 😳

But hey, it is what it is. We'll work as much as it takes to ensure our broke best friends have what they need, because that's parenting, baby.

Free fun is the best kind of Boise fun. 

Tution, sports and team fees, clothes, trips to Delsa's Ice Cream that mutually benefit us and the kiddos—the hubby and I will pay all for all the things. But we'll never turn down a chance to save some cheddar on family outings, ya' know?

That's why we were pumped to find out about four Boise-area bowling alleys that participate in a kids-bowl-free program all spring and summer for local kids.

If family fun on-the-cheap or for free.99 is your jam, scroll through the gallery below to find free bowling near you!
