Summer is hot but it’s the best time to be outside and see everything. School starting and sometimes kids are tired and want to stay in and play video games and forget about all that summer fun they had a week ago. As a parent that tries and likes to stay active. I make my kids play outside. Yes, some days I truly do make them. I tell them go out and make grass soup, ride your scooter, stare at the clouds. I even make myself go out and play with them. When we are done outside and come in, it’s a good feeling. Were tired from playing and not just from sitting around.
We also love going for small hiking or walks on local trails. We recently went to a new trail and it was all rocks and up hill. I underestimated the amount of work it would take for me to walk up it but to make sure all 3 kids were coming and kept up too. Once we got to the top of this steep small mountain. we were taking a small break to look down at what we accomplished. I always pack some CLIF kids snacks with me. The kids love the bars and it gives them a little burst of energy to keep going and to not complain they are hungry. The one bar satisfies them very well.
Play means to my family, togetherness. If we play together we have a lot more fun. It helps the whole family bond and laugh together. It also gets you out of the drab boring house that you may be stuck in soon enough come winter. I tell them to make grass soup because when I was a kid playing outside. I made grass soup and loved it. It was fun and make believe. Love sharing memories with my kids from when I played outside. Sometimes they do look at me like a 3 headed monster like “You made pretend grass soup and didn’t just get real soup”.
Everyday I try to get them to play outside. Even if it’s a half hour before bed or a walk around the block. We always have time for some outside play. Of course while we are playing or going out on an adventure. We always pack our CLIF Kid snacks.
To demonstrate CLIF Kid’s commitment to play, CLIF Kid created an online Hub to inspire outdoor experiences that will encourage kids (and parents) to get outside and be kids. The CLIF Kid Play Hub provides tips and tools for parents and communities to promote play for kids of all ages: http://bit.ly/ComeOuttoPlay
