With the busyness of summer and the joy of being outdoors, we often forget to seek out and appreciate our own backyard oasis or the beauty of nature right here at home. Now that we have the time why not take advantage of it? There are sure to be many beautiful parks and conservation areas all around us that we have likely never visited or even known about! We have the chance to seek out these amazing sites and potentially find a new favorite picnic spot, hiking trail, or just a reason to get out of the house. If you don’t know where to look go no further than your keyboard! Just do a quick search and a bunch of locations will pop up. 

If you’ve used your time at home to work on your backyard why not put it to good use? Experience a night under the stars with your family! It’s as easy as setting up a tent! You won’t have to worry about not having access to running water because it will just be a few steps away. Include some fun outdoor activities with the sprinkler or some lawn games and why not throw in some s’mores? Kids will love having their camping trip back and you’ll love spending some quality time together!

Being stuck at home doesn’t mean that we have to miss out on the memorable moments of summer!
