Hey, tammy, I don't agree that some of these things would be expensive. It
just depends on your neighborhood. My 9 year old would love museum passes,
especially like the Explora museum or the dinosaur museum. Of course every
9 year old is different. I'm not sure she would like to scoop poop for
other animals, she has enough trouble scooping poop for her own. But
working in a vet office and learning would be great fun. V
