What To Do

Now that the weather is warming up, here is a list of

things you can look forward to doing outside
with your family and friends.
I found it here:

Swing in a hammock...

Snuggle close to to a family member and sway the afternoon away.
Look for pictures in the clouds and watch them change,
or read books to each other.

Do yard work together...

Pull weeds and mow the lawn together.
Plant and water the flowers,
then water yourselves.

Play dress-up...

Collect funny hats, gloves, purses, flowing gowns, and superhero
capes at a garage sale or thrift store. Slip into your new finery
and have a make-believe garden party, Spider-man
adventure, or masquerade ball.

Build a secret fort...

Drape old sheets over lower tree limbs and clotheslines.
Eat dinner there. Stay up chasing fireflies and
listening to night sounds.

Hold a car wash...

Line up dirty toy cars and trucks, or any other soiled waterproof
playthings and give them a good scrub in a pot of water, or
with the garden hose. Rinse and let dry in the sun.

Go on a bug safari...

Dig for worms, scout for lizards, and hunt for
frogs and tadpoles. Marvel at an ant
carrying an oversize crumb.

Befriend a firefighter...

Bake cookies or pick up some ice pops and deliver
them to your local fire station. The firefighters
will appreciate the surprise.

chalk it up...

Everyone loves sidewalk chalk. Use the glow-in-the.dark
kind so you can glimpse your artwork from
the window at bedtime.

Make beautiful music...

Spread a blanket in the backyard for a stage.
Invite neighbors to bring their
instruments and perform.

Dance in the rain...

Go outside during a gentle summer shower and dance
around catching raindrops in your mouth
and jumping in all the puddles.

HAVE FUN...
