Being Outside

This kid could live outside. Whenever he starts acting up, we go outside and he's as happy as a clam. I recently read a book called 15 Minutes Outside. I actually found it at the local library. In it is basically a year's worth of outdoor activities and how being outside strengthens family relationships, plus its healthy! We've enjoyed lots of outside time, mostly at this park that's right behind our house.

 We also do a lot of sidewalk chalk.

Other things we've done are bubbles, planting and watering our garden, a car wash, bike rides, flying kites, and playing soccer. We also love to read books and have snacks out on the blanket. I hope to continue this tradition every day. Its rejuvenating for both kids and for mom!
