1. Take a hike. Scout the web for local trails. Wear comfortable shoes, and take your water bottle and GORP.
2. Walk on the Wild side. Hit your local zoo or animal park. Name the animals with a name that starts with the corredponding letter of the animal. Penny Peacock. George Giraffe. Etc.
3. Take in an Outdoor Concert. Check with your local community chamber for planned activities. Dont forget your lawn chairs or blanket, and snacks.
4. Find a farmer. Summer is prime farmers market season. Who doesn’t like food samples, boutique-style merchandise and supporting the local economy? And don’t forget the great people-watching.
5. Slip ‘N Slide. Cool down in the front yard. Dont forget sun screen.
6. Catch a Movie. Find a local Drive-In, community sponsored outdoor film festival, or the nearest theatre.
7. Smarten up at the Museum. Get the kid’s brains back in gear. Lots of museums have sections geared towards kids and families, with activities and workshops.
What are your plans for the last weeks of summer?
