Make Time for Family

We’re talking all about family time. Whether you’ve got a family of two or six, family time is more than just a luxury. It’s an opportunity for some collective downtime, for connection, for a chance to make memories, and so much more.  In this blog, we share some of our favorite ways for families to create lasting memories.

1. Take a hike. Get outside! Go on a picnic, take a nature walk, visit a national battlefield, go boating or horseback riding or whitewater rafting! Find an activity that everyone will enjoy, and employ your best event-planning abilities to coordinate everyone’s schedules to make it happen!
2. Turn off the television. If the weather’s bad or you’re more in the indoor mood, don’t fall back on family movie night. Turn on some music and play games, make a meal, tell stories, build an indoor blanket fort, or do arts and crafts. There’s no limit to the fun things you can do inside as a family.
3. Host a big family meal. If your extended family lives nearby, invite them into the fun by hosting a big family-style meal. Give every household in attendance an item to bring to contribute (sides from your siblings, appetizers from your parents, drinks from your aunts and uncles). Or host a progressive meal where you travel from home to home and eat a dish at each house, then all meet back up at a central location for an activity.
