Are you looking for a new way to connect with your family this week? Here are 9 fun ideas to try:
1. Pack a picnic and head out to your favorite local park. We love Northshore Park (pictured above) for the large lawn, lakeside picnic tables, spacious playground with swings and merry-go-round, and the friendly ducks.
2. Take a nature walk together along The Woodlands Waterway. Stop at the koi pond, and take photos with the art benches along the way.
3. Hike the George Mitchell Nature Preserve. Wear appropriate shoes, use insect repellent, and back a knapsack with plenty of water.
4. Rent a swan boat or kayak at Riva Row. If your family dynamic allows, rent 2 boats and have a race.
5. Daytrip to the Houston Zoo, Botanical Gardens, Space Center, Downtown Aquarium, Kemah Boardwalk, or to the science or children's museum.
6. Engage in a day of fun - bowling, video games, mini golf, or roller skating.
7. Organize a family bike ride along the abundant trails in our area. Make sure the bicycles are in good condition, wear safety gear, and pack snacks and water.
8. Try out something new like go-carting, rock climbing, a group fitness class, or martial arts.
9. Experience a restaurant for the first time. The Woodlands has dozens of great spots! Choose a family-friendly locale with live entertainment, Kids Eat Free specials, or a free ice cream machine.
