The weather is starting to break here a little bit. Although, I’m scared to say it because then the temperatures will plummet. All in all, this winter was a heck of a lot better than last winter. Last winter tested my sanity. With the warmer days and the sun staying out a bit longer I’m taking full advantage of it and getting my kids outside.
The weather was almost Spring like a couple of days last week, so I packed up the kids and the furry beast and we went for a short hike around the reservoir. When it almost reaches 50 degrees in February you need to take advantage of it. It was just what we needed. The woods and fresh air!
I don’t know about you, but I sometimes have to argue with my kids to get them to go play outside and it’s absolutely maddening! I find if I plan an outdoor activity, they get the fresh air bug and want to stay outside and play when we get back.
Here are 5 outdoor activities to enjoy with your family.
- After dinner walk around the neighborhood.
- Lunch at the playground.
- Star gazing in the backyard.
- Go for a hike.
- Impromptu basketball, football, or soccer game.
Even if it’s just 30 minutes, GET OUTSIDE!!!
What outdoor activities do you enjoy with your family?
It was beautiful this weekend in the DC area. We went hiking at a local mountain. My kids love being outside. We live in a townhouse that doesn’t have a back yard so when ever they can get outside to play, they are all in!!!
Looks like you all had a great time!!
