Get in on the Family Fun this Labor Day Weekend! Here are a Few Ideas




Ditch the big parties and barbeques and enjoy your day off with your family! Try these activities for a fun and family focused Labor Day weekend

1. Go hiking: Grab some backpacks and comfy shoes and take off for a Labor Day Hike at a nearby park or nature trail! Teach your kids how to read a map by downloading one online or grabbing one from the park’s office.

2. Volunteer: Check with your local food bank, animal shelter or other charity of your choice to see what events they may need help with this weekend! Many non-profit organizations schedule fundraisers around holiday weekends so it could be a great time to get your family involved in a cause that’s important to you!

3. Make and fly kites: It’s time to get crafty! Use a basic kite pattern and let the kids decorate the kites using glitter, makers, ribbon and whatever else you can find around the house. Then go out to a nearby park and get those kites up in the air!

4. Backyard camping: Pitch a tent in your backyard and bring out all the supplies necessary for the day/night. You and your family can roast marshmallows, tell ghost stories, and sleep under the stars!

5. Have a talent show:
Suggest at the beginning of the day that you have a talent show. Give the performers the day to prepare while one member of the family makes up a program!
We wish you and your family a happy and safe Labor Day Weekend!
