Going to try a new feature here - fun and free things to do, posted on Fridays. There may be the cost of getting there or for food you bring, but these are idea where there’s no entry free. And you have to eat sometime anyhow.

This week’s idea is to go on a family picnic. Pack up some lunches or even dinner, and find a park, a beach or even your backyard.

Bring toys or sports equipment so you can play as a family.

Take your time and let the family picnic be about having fun together. Don’t stress about what the house looks like or any work you need to get done. Just take the time to be a family.
