Enjoy the Outdoors

Before the weather gets to hot, spend some time outdoors with the family.

Here are some ideas for scavenger hunts:

* Nature Scavenger Hunt - Head outside with a list of items like something smooth, something fuzzy, something prickly, a type of seed, etc. Check out our list of nature trails to explore.

* Zoo Scavenger Hunt - Head to a local zoo or farm with a printout of a list of animals to fine there. Check out our list of places to see animals.

* Water Scavenger Hunt - Head to the beach, spring or lake to find shells, fish, birds and other treasures. Check out our list of springs, lakes and rivers to visit.

* Photo Scavenger Hunt - Instead of gather items, give everyone a camera phone and have them take photos of the items or places.
