Free Fun?

This is on Temple Square at the Salt Lake Visitor's Center. The one thing that I wanted to go see, that I had seen in the Church News, was the new model of the Salt Lake Temple.
The model of the temple is so intricate that even the little light bulbs turn on!
It was really amazing!

It's was really neat to get to see all of the different rooms.

And here's a look at the model (left) and the real temple (right).

My Mom moved to Utah the end of June, we helped take the moving van down to Orem. So we visited for what was left of the week after packing and unpacking.
Someday I would like to take up photography.
So, lately I have been thinking about hobbies and things to do that don't require spending any money. Wyatt is 10 months old now, and about a week or so away from walking. He's taken about 4 steps, without falling! We have gone to lots of different parks, including swimming and splash parks this summer. He really enjoys getting out of the house. I'm just not sure what I should do with him, and in my free time and home without him.
I LIKE:
Studying the gospel. I thought it would be fun to start some kind of Scripture Book Club, and then meet and discuss what we learn.
Learning about Photography. I have a camera with 10x optical zoom, so I play a little with that. I have photoshop Elements, which I don't really know how to use, and when it comes to editing the pictures I could fix the easy things that I don't like, but I'm not sure where you learn to be creative and get alll of the cool effects. I might have to try some free online tutorials.
I would love to learn how to edit videos I take from my digital camera. I'm not sure what kind of software that would require.
I love to teach. I would like to teach Piano Lessons. But, probably only to 1-2 students. I also enjoy teaching Spanish. My favorite is the self-motivated people that love to learn, and will practice at home. (You know the perfect student. Which I am not.)

I want to make some felt quiet books for church. But that cost money. Maybe there is an inexpensive way that I haven't heard of yet. I would also like to make Wyatt some pajama pants, I already have all the stuff, except the sewing machine. :) But I think my mother-in-law would be willing to let me use hers.
