Winding Down

Quick! Summer is ending and the school year is started! Before the weather gets cold, get outside and enjoy it while it lasts. Here are some activities for adults. 1. BBQ: Enjoy time with family and friends by throwing a bbq or turn it into a potluck where your friends can bring food too. A bbq is laid back and comfortable.
2. Iron Chef Competition: Choose one ingredient and a few friends. Have each friend bring one of the following: drink, appetizer, main dish, or dessert containing the ingredient chosen. After the dishes have been prepared, have judges to taste the recipes. Whoever made the yummiest food or drink wins!

3. Home Outdoor Theater: Put up a bed sheet on the fence or flat surface where the movie can be projected. Use a video projector to play the movie.

Summer Activity!

Hiking is a good way to get your exercise in for the day and you can bring your kids or dog along too! Get out there and explore what's around you. Hiking trails range from easy to difficult. So for those of you that don't consider yourself an outdoor kind of person, you can choose a shorter hike. You can purchase a local trail guide book and read how many miles, the approximate time it takes to hike, and what scenery you will see. Below is also a website that list hikes through out the U.S.

GET YOUR HIKE ON!
