Summer Fun is Here!
It’s the first day of summer. Any change in season is a great excuse to make adjustments in your own life. Nows the time to get out more and walk. Take advantage of the extra day light outside and make an effort to get the entire family out doors and more active. If you have a pool, vow to swim and play in the water. If you have a play area in the back yard or at a nearby park, take time to get the kids out for 30 minutes a day. Not only will they get in fun time and exercise, but they’ll release all that extra energy.
Summer fun is a time to plan a little R&R. Rest and relaxation. You don’t have to plan a huge, over-the-top vacation. Keep it simple and keep it stress-free. You have enough stress at work. Don’t bring it home while trying to plan out some extravagant minute-by-minute, we must be doing something fun at all times, kind of activity. Plan a series of short trips locally, or plan a Staycation. What’s a staycation?
A Staycation is a vacation the entire family can take together, however, instead of planning a trip to somewhere far away, you plan your vacation based on local attractions, up to and including your own back yard. Want to go camping? Set up a tent in the back yard. The idea is to keep it simple and keep it basic. Staycations are happening all across the country as the economy is on the re-bound. Don’t deny your family the anticipated summer vacation that you normally take every year. Plan your trips and stay local, get discounts, shop around, have a special treat everyday. Paln your vacation close to home and it will be as good as if you were hundreds of miles away. Keep an eye out on local happenings in your area and add them into your staycation. Look for free activities to do at the local library or marketplace and get out for the day. It’s all good and you’ll be more aware of all the many activities that your city has available.
Enjoy your summer and get back to the basics of life. Play Monopoly or Risk or a fun game of cards. Camp out in the back and after the BBQ, have S’Mores and do campfire skits for entertainment. The kids will enjoy and appreciate the quality family time. Keep all cell phones and other electronics away from your staycation area. The key is to ”feel” like your getting away from the day-to-day routine. Take plenty of pictures and involve the kids in event planning and use their imaginations and your own to take you to exotic places.
