admin | Jun 02, 2009 | Comments 0
1.)Visit a Park:
Take your loved ones and visit a nice park for an afternoon. Prepare your picnic and take along a ball or a frisbee and have fun running and chasing. You’ll have whole hearted fun and the running and chasing will do your health a world of good.
2.)Have a Barbecue:
A Summer without a barbecue and the smell of the smoke is an incomplete one. Take advantage of the warmth of the summer and celebrate it with a barbecue. Let the kids help in marinating the meat. Keep them away from the actual barbecuing though!
3.)Festival season:
Go to a festival. Take in the muddy fields, colour, wellies, hippies and music. There is a huge range of festivals to choose from.
Glastonbury is the major event of the UK’s live music calendar but it doesn’t just have to be the only one. Look around and visit one.
4.)Visit a museum:
Head indoors to the many museums around you for a fascinating look at the exhibits. One sure fire way to get the young ones interested in the world around them.
5.)Visit the tourist attractions in your own city. How often do you just rush by in a hurry to get to work. Chill out one weekend and take the pains to discover your town or city from a tourist’s eye. You might just be surprised…
6.)Visit another town in your country and ask for local places of interest via Twitter. For that spontaneous and unpredictable rush, head into town and ask for ideas from your twitter followers
7.)Head out into the town with your partner and kids and enjoy coffee and breakfast in the warm morning sunshine of a local café.
8.)Visit the Zoo:
Nowadays, zoos have commitments to boost populations of endangered species and it is a great way to learn about animal habitats and conservation. There are also open air theatre events and live music with plenty of kids activities and general fun for all the family.
9.) Get out the watercolour paints and with the kids paint a picture of flowers or even of the sun setting in your garden or anything else you might fancy.
10.) Go to a beach and walk bare footed along the coast while hunting for shells and starting a collection.
