1. Make marshmallow shooters out of pvc pipe
then stage your backyard as the "battleground".
2. Plant a garden. Not only gas prices
are high - groceries are high too. Start relying on yourself
instead of others and plant your own garden. If you don't have
enough room outside, start a container garden inside.
3. Make a tire swing. Hey, even us
adults love a good tire swing once in a while. Check out your
local Craigslist or Freecycle for a good sized tire!
4. Make mosaics for the yard (or as
gifts). Mix together 3/4 cup water, 1 1/2
cups flour, 1 1/2 cups salt, 1 Tbs of vegetable oil and food coloring.
Roll it out to desired thickness then cut into circles with the top of a
glass. Add the stones or pebbles then bake in the oven at 250* for
20 minutes. Let cool.
5. Have fun! Be
a family. Just be together. Play catch. Play frisbee.
Have a bonfire. And when the day's done - take a family picture to
remember all the fun you had.
