FIND A TREASURE HUNT
Who doesn’t like a treasure hunt? Geocaching, is just that-a treasure hunt–and it is a wonderful way to get your kids outside. Even adults will enjoy this family activity.
DO YOUR RESEARCH
Borderland State Park in Easton is a local favorite. It is so wildly popular that the parking lot often fills up early in the morning and cars are turned away. Cars that park along the road leading up to the park are ticketed or even towed. But if you look at the trail map and look for alternate entrances off side streets, you can often find places to park where your vehicle won’t be towed. A little bit of planning ahead (and perhaps even using Google Maps’s street view) can save you from having to turn around and go home before you even start your adventure.
EMBRACE THE WEATHER
Embrace the weather. There are very few days that are bad enough to keep our family inside.
DRESS FOR THE WEATHER & LOCATION
An uncomfortable kid is an unhappy kid, and we all know what that means–the fun is over before it starts. You know the saying: there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.
